A good tip to remember when hiring a lawyer is to keep track of all the bills pertaining to your lawyer. You don't want to be caught off guard when it comes time to paying for everything. You can also consult with your lawyer if there's something that doesn't add up.

Stay away from lawyers who promise you an easy victory in court. Very few cases are absolutely indisputable and a lawyer who seems overconfident might be lying to you. Do not hesitate to meet with different lawyers to ask for advice before you hire one and do some research on the reputation of these lawyers before you hire one.

Always communicate clearly with your lawyer. When a deadline looms, give your attorney everything and anything that is needed. It can only help you in the end.

Lawyers aren't miracle workers. If a lawyer claims he will assuredly win, he is probably not your best bet. There aren't any guarantees in law, so don't go for lawyers that say that they always win.

Ask if you can do anything yourself to cut expenses. Maybe you can prep some documents for presentation in court. If you must get documents at the courthouse, inquire about getting them picked up by yourself so you don't have to pay the law office for it.
