Ask about lawyer accessibility and communications – does the lawyer have a policy about the length of time it takes to return calls or respond to emails? Does the lawyer use email in his or her practice at all? Will you be able to reach the lawyer via cell phone? How will the lawyer keep you informed about the status of your case? I give my client’s my cell phone number for use during business hours and make every effort to return calls or reply to emails same day, or the next day. Sometimes that means I call clients at 7pm or respond to an email at 10pm but I have never had a client unhappy to be contacted after hours.
