Consider the following when determining which law firm should provide legal representation for your contract case:
Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the contracts attorney personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on contract cases before? Do they have experience working with individuals, business owners, in-house counsel or other relevant stakeholders?
Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
