Questions to Ask At Visit
Prepare to ask questions
before you visit the attorney.
• Have you had experience
with this type of problem
before? How recently? How
often? What was involved?
• What percentage of your
practice is devoted to this
kind of problem?
• Will you personally be
working on my case?
• Do you have an estimate
of the cost to resolve my
situation?
• How do you handle payment
for services? And for
expenses?

Elder Law
When you hire a lawyer, the lawyer will be
working for you. He or she should be genuinely
interested in your problem and in giving you
the best possible advice. The lawyer may not
be able to accomplish everything you wish
because of the facts or the law that apply in your
case. Many times a good lawyer will advise you
to avoid court action. A lawyer should be able
to explain, in terms you can understand, what
he or she hopes to accomplish for you and how
he or she plans to do it.
Think about how the lawyer responded
to your questions, his or her experience and
whether you will be able to work with the lawyer.
