Q: How much does it cost to hire an attorney?
A: It depends on the attorney and the type of case. During the initial consultation, the attorney will discuss his/her rates and an estimate of what they think the matter will cost.
Q: What do I need to bring with me to the initial consultation?
A: Any paperwork related to the case that is already in your possession.
Q: I just have a quick legal question; can I speak with an attorney?
A: Most legal questions aren’t cut and dry. It really depends on the circumstances and the attorney usually needs more information in order to provide you with proper legal advice; therefore, the next step would be to schedule a consultation.
Q: I don’t have the money for the initial consultation, what are my other options?
A: There are programs out there to help those who have a legal matter, but cannot afford to hire an attorney. The Legal Advice and Referral Center will screen you for eligibility based on your income. If you qualify, they will point you in the right direction to get you the help you need.
