Dress to impress: how your clothing affects your meeting with an attorney

For many of us, thinking about what to wear to a consultation with a lawyer would be the last thing on a person’s mind, but, in actuality, wearing the right clothes can make a difference during the meeting.

Because this is a business consultation, you should be well dressed and professional. Just as the lawyer wants you to take him or her seriously, you need to be taken seriously as well. Having both parties dress professionally may help set the tone for the relationship.

Dressing professionally may also give you that needed boost before meeting the lawyer. Having a consultation with a lawyer can be a daunting task, especially if it is your first time meeting with a legal professional. Wearing the right clothes may help you feel more in charge and confident.

Is your lawyer familiar with handling cases like yours?

When you have a consultation with a lawyer, there are many things to consider in determining if you are meeting with the right lawyer for your case. One thing to consider is whether or not the lawyer has current experience in legal claims that are similar to yours.

For instance, you may have a consultation with a personal injury lawyer because you want to discuss a medical malpractice case. However, just because the attorney works in personal injury law, it does not automatically mean that he or she is well-versed in medical malpractice cases. The lawyer may focus more on automobile accidents instead. Or, even if the lawyer has knowledge and experience in medical malpractice cases, his or her focus may be in a different area, like birth injuries, but you may need a lawyer for a surgical mistake.

It’s important to hire a lawyer who has experience pertaining to your specific legal needs so that you can receive the best representation possible. He or she will know the right types of evidence to collect and how to work with the appropriate professionals to build the best case for your claim.
