The initial consultation is
mesothelioma attorney's opportunity to explain what he or she can do for you and how much it will cost. You should not hesitate to ask about
attorney's experience in handling previous mesothelioma lawsuits.
Feel free to ask about
lawyer's fees and
likely results. If you are considering going beyond
initial consultation and hiring
lawyer, request a written fee agreement before proceeding.
It is also important to ask each attorney for a list of references that you may contact.
4. Making Your Decision
After each initial consultation, ask yourself
following questions about
mesothelioma attorney you just met:
-Did
attorney listen to me? -Was
attorney knowledgeable about asbestos law? -Did
attorney give me a firm understanding of my alternative courses of action? -Do I understand
range of possible results associated with each course of action? -Did
attorney seem trustworthy?
If need be, take notes after each consultation, indicating your initial reaction to
mesothelioma attorney you have just met.
