5 MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE IN THEIR HIRING DECISION

Real Estate Attorneywww.ProvenResource.com

CONSIDERING HIRING AN ATTORNEY?

THEY RELY ON THE LEGAL ADVICE OF NON-ATTORNEYS. 1

1

Acting on legal advice from non-attorneys such as real estate agent, a business executive,

neighbor or cousin is asking for trouble.

THEY BASE THEIR HIRING DECISION UPON PRICE.2

2

Focus on an attorney’s experience. An experienced attorney can save a client thousands over the life of a case, or quickly put a matter to rest and prevent a

problem from spiraling out of control.

THEY FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT ATTORNEYS, LIKE DOCTORS, HAVE

PRACTICE SPECIALTIES. 3

3

Find an attorney who does more than “dabble” in the practice area that addresses your matter.

THEY HAVE “FACT HOPE-IUM.”4

4

Attorneys are trained to argue both sides of an issue, but if the facts fail to support a winning case, don’t

expect the attorney to generate more favorable facts. Expect the attorney to reduce one’s legal exposure

through skilled negotiation instead.

THEY’RE DRIVEN BY PRINCIPLE ALONE. 5

5

Unless one has very deep pockets to pursue a legal action, know that an estimated 85% to 90% of all

litigation is settled before going to trial.

“We provide peace of mind to consumers and business owners facing pressing legal and

financial challenges.”
