Signing on the Dotted Line: Concluding the Series

This is the last post in a series about things you might want to do, now that you know you need a lawyer.

You already figured out that you need a lawyer. Now you’ve thought about what you want in a lawyer, where you need to look (both in terms of research and geography), and what the scope of the representation is going to be. Congratulations. You’re officially an educated consumer.

Now, go interview the lawyers. Talk to them. Figure out whom you’re comfortable with. Figure out whom you can afford. Figure out who you like. Then sign on the dotted line. Get things started, get it over with, and get on with your life.
