Hi all! Happy Thursday! As you know, The Law Office of Marcie L. Baker offers free consultations. I wanted to dive a little bit deeper into initial consultations this week and why it is beneficial for you to take advantage of free consultations that attorneys offer.
1.) A free consultation is a time for an attorney to see if the client has a case that they want to take on. However, it is also the time to make a good impression on a potential client. When attending a free consultation potential clients should use the opportunity to ask as many questions as necessary to determine if the attorney is the right fit for their case.
Here is an example of some of those questions you may want to ask:
- How long have you practiced law in this area?
- How many cases have you handled similar to mine?
- What type of success have you had in the past with similar cases?
- Will you settle or go to trial?
- Do you think I can win my case?
2.) Because the legal world can be so daunting and stressful it can be hard to know what direction to go with your case, or if you even have a case at all. Taking advantage of a free consultation with an attorney will allow you to be able to visualize a roadmap of your potential case and what can be done to give you the least stress and best result.
3.) The consultation is confidential. Some people do not seek out legal advice or help for fear that whatever they are dealing with may become public knowledge. Rest assured that anything you say during your initial consultation will not be shared without your permission. This allows you to feel at ease and discuss all aspects of your case, even the parts that you may be embarrassed about.
4.) A free legal consultation allows you to discuss the costs involved with moving forward with your legal claim as well as what the attorney will charge for a fee. Don’t be afraid to ask these questions at the initial consultation because it will offer you a better idea of what is expected of you in the representation and also allow you to decide if the costs and fees associated with your legal claim are something you want to move forward with.
5.) And ultimately, it’s free. Let’s face it. Life can be crazy and expensive and when it comes to hiring an attorney that’s often no different. Being able to have a free consultation to talk out your legal claim with someone who will listen and has a better understanding of the incredibly complex legal world can offer you some peace of mind and guidance as to how to proceed with your case.
I hope you all found this post helpful and informative. Marcie Baker always strives to do her best to help her clients and it is important to utilize the benefits of free legal consultations. Contact our office to set yours up today!
