Will You Handle My Case?
At some firms, the lawyers hand off cases to junior attorneys. You should ask the lawyers that you interview if they will personally handle your case or if associates will be handling it. If an associate will handle your case, ask who will supervise him or her and ask to meet the associate as well. You should also ask who you will contact for information about your claim. It is important for you to get this information before you sign a representation agreement with a law firm.
