A Worry-Free Relationship with Your Charlotte Auto Accident Law Firm

October 23, 2012, by Michael A. DeMayo

One of the reasons why you haven’t yet retained a law firm in Charlotte to help with your auto accident case is that you are not sure how to interact with attorneys in a way that leave you feeling safe and confident.

On the one hand, you know that you can’t handle your case by yourself. On the other hand, you’re suspicious, dubious, and overwhelmed by what retaining an attorney might entail for you. How can you ensure that your relationship is stress-free?

Work through the following questions at your own pace on a word document or in your private journal:

1.    Why do you think you need the lawyer?
2.    What might a lawyer or law firm do that could make you uncomfortable? In other words, if you were to hand-off the entire case to someone or some team, what rules would they need to abide by to ensure your complete comfort? Dig deep here, and list as many guidelines as you think apply.
3.    What would an ideal relationship with a law firm look like, from your end? Would you like to be true during the case? Would you like to be true for you after the case?
4.    What proof or guarantees would you like an attorney or law firm to present to you before you commit to retaining services?

These questions are not comprehensive, but they should at least get you thinking in a productive way about the selection challenge you face.

When you understand why you want to achieve a certain goal, what rules you want to apply to the “game” of attaining that goal, and gain clarity on the ideal vision for your case, you’ll likely find it much simpler to find good help, not only with your case but also with other diverse projects in your life.
