If you are facing a legal issue, it is important to choose an attorney who is experienced, knowledgeable, and able to think on their feet. A good trial attorney can make a big difference in the outcome of your case. Some things to ask to see if you (the client) are hiring the right attorney:
(1) Ask your lawyer how many cases has he/she done that are similar to your case.
(2) Ask your lawyer what laws are applicable to your case.
(3) Ask your lawyer what amount of those cases has he/she taken to trial?
-It is true that most case do settle but there are a lot of attorneys who claim to do litigation although they may have never seen the inside of a courtroom or have never argued in front of a Judge. The worst thing a client can endure is hiring the wrong lawyer. Look up in the public record to see if the lawyer you are about to hire has ever filed a lawsuit.
