You need to recognize that the true value of an attorney is measured by how much money you are saved and how the advice can help protect you in the future.
Q 3 - What should I look for in an attorney?
A 3 - The most important traits for your attorney are honesty, hard work and practical intelligence. Honesty is important to make sure that you are getting a proper evaluation of you situation. You need to be able to trust the information that you are being given. Hard work is important because it means that your attorney will be preparing the documentation that you need or working on your behalf. Practicing law in todays environment is not a 9-5 job. It requires many hours of hard work and accessbility to clients by phone and email throughout the day. We try to offer our client a high level of service and communication to help with their legal needs. Practical intelligence is important to take all factors into account. Many attorneys have the legal knowledge and intelligence to handle certain situations. However, do they take into account items such as the true economic impact that the situation will have on you or your company? Do they weigh the time and expense involved in the solution? Or do they simply plow ahead with legal work creating a large bill with little value in return. We pride ourselves in considering all factors that are involved in your situation and helping you find a solution that makes sense on all levels.
