FAQs
Should I be my own lawyer for larger concerns/matters?
Ninety percent of the people who have considered being their own lawyer would not roof or put electrical wiring into their own house. When asked why not, their response is that it is too complicated. Keep in mind that even if you are prepared to give up what you normally do and spend an enormous amount of time learning how to be a lawyer, being both the lawyer and the client is difficult because of the emotions involved. Smart lawyers do not even represent themselves.
Is an initial consultation with a lawyer confidential?
Yes. Initial consultations allow an attorney to determine if the client has a case and for the client to determine if they want to hire the lawyer. Even if you do not end up hiring the lawyer everything you discussed during an initial consultation with a lawyer is confidential. This means the lawyer cannot discuss it with anyone else.
What is a retainer agreement?
A retainer agreement with a lawyer is like a down payment, it can be used to guarantee that the lawyer will be readily available to work on your particular case, which could mean that they would have to turn down other cases in order to remain available for you. If the fee agreement states that the retainer is not refundable, you may not be able to get your money back, even if the lawyer does not handle your case or complete the work. Whether or not your retainer is refundable must be disclosed in the fee agreement.
Is it OK to ask my attorney about his/her experience and work ethic?
Absolutely. An attorney is a professional providing a service. You have a right to know if you and the attorney will be a good fit. Consider the initial consultation as an interview between you and the attorney and vice versa. You must be able to work together in a cohesive manner to achieve the best possible outcome. Not every attorney and client pairing is correct.
Can an attorney in Erie represent me outside Erie County?
It depends. An attorney can only represent you where he or she is licensed. If an attorney is licensed in Pennsylvania, then the attorney can only appear in Pennsylvania courts (any state court in the state of PA) and federal courts where the attorney has applied and been accepted. However, if you are a New York resident, but your case is in Pennsylvania, then a Pennsylvania attorney can help you.
