The
Balance, an about.com brand website, shares some tips on how to avoid hiring a
bad attorney. For the countless number
of talented and highly competent attorneys practicing law today, there are some
lawyers, who for a variety of reasons will not provide you with the best
representation.
Some
of the qualities that separate ineffective attorneys from competent,
professional ones are poor work habits. The
Balance’s advice is to be aware of things like phone calls and emails not being
returned in a timely manner. Another warning
sign is missing deadlines, especially for important court filings. Also avoid hiring an attorney who is hard to
work with or one who too quickly promises a victory.
Your
attorney’s offices also say a lot about them.
Do they appear to be organized and efficiently run as well as adequately
staffed?
In
addition your bill should clearly explain what tasks were performed, by whom
and when. If you are being billed for a
phone call, you are entitled to know who made the call, who they talked to, and
what was the nature and duration of the call.
Also be on the lookout for hidden expenses that were not included in
your initial agreement.
