handled? Can she or he tell you in a general way about some of them? 5) Does the attorney carry malpractice insurance? 6) How long does the attorney think the case will take to resolve? 7) Does the attorney or an office employee promptly return all telephone calls? Will you receive carbon copies of all correspondence? 8) If your matter involves a divorce, a personal injury case, or some other issue which might lead to lit igation, what is the likelihood that the case can be settled? If litigation is an issue, how many cases of this type has the attorney tried? 9) Does the attorney have any substantial litigation which will prevent him or her from working on your case for long periods of time? If so, how will your matter be handled in the interim? 10) What does the attorney think your obligations as a client are? The answers you get to these questions should help you quickly narrow down your choices. Keep in mind other factors too. How well did you and the attorney relate when you spoke? Was she willing to answer your questions in a friendly and professional manner? Did he communicate in a fashion which is readily understan dable to you? Did you like him or her? (If not, why hire this attorney even if your mama thinks he’s best?) How long did it take you to get an appointment? If you need to wait more than a week, the attorney may be too busy to handle your case promptly. How was the atmosphere in the office? Was the support staff cordial and profes sional? Also keep in mind that if your matter requires a heavy hitter who must impress other parties, the Orien tal rug and fine art on the walls are a good sign, but if that isn’t what you need, you’ll be paying fees that sup port these amenities anyway.
