Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. If you are looking to hire a lawyer it is imperative that you ask for a consultation before making any decisions. This is vital so that you can meet or at least speak to your prospective attorney and get a sense of exactly what they can do for you, what the full extent of all costs may be, and how they communicate. After all, if it is difficult to speak to a service provider at this stage it may be a sign of things to come.

Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?

A. My suggestion for individuals who are deciding which area of law to enter into is to think of your life experiences and determine how you can best help people use their legal rights.
