What your attorney should expect from you
No two attorneys operate in the exact same manner, but once you've retained your attorney, just as you'll expect professionalism and their best efforts, they will expect your cooperation in a few ways:
- Be on time to scheduled meetings
- Respect the their time within meetings
- Share all facts relevant to your case with full honesty, even if they're unfavorable
- Understand that no attorney can guarantee any outcome within a contested case
- Understand that your case will most likely require time and patience
- Pay all established fees
