Coffee with Claire #46 – Commonly Asked Questions Blog Series

What is The Hiring Process? Step Four: Moving Forward

Writer’s note: This blog series is meant to act as responses to “quick” questions you may have for attorneys. Think of these answers as a “quick” answer you might receive over coffee from your friendly neighborhood attorney.

If you’ve never hired an attorney before, it can be an intimidating, daunting process. Unknowns about time or financial commitments can cause people to delay their legal questions and action. In the next few posts, I’ll walk you through the attorney hiring process I use at Tralle Law.

This consists of three steps:

1. The Initial Phone Call
2. The Client Questionnaire
3. The Initial Meeting

I promised you only three steps for the hiring process, but there is actually a fourth and final step: moving forward after the initial meeting.

After the initial meeting, and the client has retained my services, we go in different directions depending on the case. If appropriate, initial drafting of legal documents takes place, or another meeting, or a court hearing; it all depends on the case and the individual client’s needs.

The next series will discuss what the next steps may be if you’re hiring to start a divorce case, to hire unbundled, to start an estate plan, or to start a probate.

If you have questions about divorce or custody proceeding, estate planning, or probate, please contact Claire Tralle to set up a free initial telephone call.
