During an initial consultation, you should explore the car accident attorney’s working style to ensure that you and the attorney will have a productive relationship. You can confirm the attorney’s preferred method of communication or the best way to get a quick response to a question. Lawyers prefer various means of keeping in touch with clients, including emails, phone calls, text messages, or client portals on the attorney’s firm’s website.
You can also ask how frequently you should expect your attorney to update you on the status of your case. Some attorneys may give you regular updates regardless of whether your case has progressed. Other attorneys prefer to contact clients with updates when something meaningful has occurred, such as receiving a settlement offer from the insurance company.
