Meet with the lawyer before you make a decision. Most lawyers will give you a free consultation. It is never a good idea to hire an attorney without meeting first. You want to be sure you can communicate well. Remember to ask if the lawyer you meet will be the lawyer who represents you. Many firms have associates who do the day-to-day mundane legal activities. Ask to meet your legal team. People, in general, tend to work harder for people they know. Lawyers are no exception.

ReplyDeleteSheryl, I didn't know that lawyers give free consultations. This meeting could be a good way to create a positive relation between the two of you. I know that it can be tricky to find the right lawyer for you, so meeting with several before making a decision could be a good idea. http://www.socialsecurityesq.com/Disability-Law-Fredericksburg-VA.html
