What should I ask an attorney before I hire him or her?

“Do they specialize in that area? What are their number of years experience? Can they afford the case? Are they gonna front the cost? Do they work on a contingency? Are they AV rated? Are they board-certified? How many lawyers do they have work for them? What type of staffing do they have? You need to ask a number so that you’re a good fit with that attorney and that you know that he has the basis to go ahead and proceed and do the best result for your case.”
