During your initial consultation, pay attention to how the lawyer interacts with you. This is a critical factor in how well you will work together. The lawyer should be attentive and respectful to your concerns, and they should be able to answer any questions you have clearly. In addition to assessing the attorney’s personality, you should take note of their physical environment and office staff. Is the office clean and organized? Do the employees seem friendly and welcoming? The more comfortable you are in the lawyer’s office, the easier it will be to communicate with them.
