Communication and your attorney

With any legal issue, you can expect a substantial amount of communication between you and your lawyer. Therefore, maintaining professional and timely exchanges with your attorney is imperative in seeing your legal matter handled appropriately.

During your consultation with the lawyer, discuss both your and the lawyer’s expectations and manner regarding communication. Do you prefer to communicate via phone or through email? Or, does your legal matter require that you meet with the lawyer face-to-face? How quick can the attorney respond to your questions or concerns?

There are other factors that may affect the efficiency of your communication with the lawyer such as the lawyer’s workload, the difficulty of your case, and the timeframe for your issue. It’s best to clear up any of these issues during the initial consultation so that you and the lawyer maintain effective communication.
