HIRING A LAWYER: PERSONAL INFORMATION QUESTIONNAIRE



Litigation involving your business can be legally complicated, but it can also be time-consuming and time-intensive. In many cases, the first time commitment is finding an attorney. While you may already have an attorney who helped you to set up your business, he or she might not be experienced in litigation. 

In any litigation, you will need the counsel and representation of a seasoned advocate to help you through the process and ensure an outcome that meets your needs. You will want to meet with any attorney you are considering hiring, to see if you and the attorney can work together.
