There are many things you must do to find the best advocate when choosing an advocate. This is a critical situation; you’re not screwing it up. Read on to learn how to select a great advocate for your case.

1. Don’t just choose the very first advocate you find. Do thorough research since choosing the best results. Ask around and look for as many people as you can to get quality information.
2. Make sure your advocate is easy to reach. Unfortunately, many people find that their advocate is impossible to get in touch with. You probably don’t want to wonder if it’s because they’re golfing.
3. This will help ensure that you are more likely to win your case quickly and efficiently.
4. You should know that anything shared between you and your advocate will be kept in the strictest confidence. So, for instance, if you speak with your advocate about something dealing with your company, you do not have to worry because an advocate is legally bound not to share this information with others.
5. Don’t pick the first advocate alphabetically in the phone book. You must put in the research to make sure you make the best choice. You may even find that you choose the wrong advocate without a valid license or one who has been sued for malpractice.
6. You must feel free to ask your advocate numerous questions. A reliable advocate will tell you exactly what they are doing every step of the way.
7. Do not hire any advocate that you are not comfortable with. This also goes for their fee schedule. Please don’t give any advocate a blank check to them! Ask for estimates directly to control the fee structure in detail.
8. Keep a journal of when you interact with the advocate. Take note of the day, times, fees paid and anything else that was discussed. This can help eliminate any problems you may have in the future, like dealing with fees or bills you disagree with.
9. You want to have the best communication possible with your advocate regularly. For example, suppose your advocate needs something pertaining to deadlines for your case. In that case, you need to supply your advocate with all the necessary information that is required. This can only help the outcome of your case.
10. You need to be comfortable with the advocate you decide to hire. A great advocate will both know what he’s talking about and good people skills so that you feel completely at ease when you see him. Find a new advocate if yours doesn’t do this.
11. Your case will fall behind if he or she is too busy with other cases. Therefore, ask your advocate immediately whether they have adequate time for your case. They must be honest with regards to their schedule so you can find an advocate who has the time you need to get the job done.
12. If you do not promptly get return calls, take this as a clue as to how you would be treated if you were their client.
13. Know your case before talking to an advocate. If you aren’t aware of the issues involved, how will you locate one that is knowledgeable about a case such as yours? This will aid you as an advocate.
14. One great way to find a suitable advocate is to ask your friends. For example, suppose someone you know has been happy with a particular advocate. In that case, it is very likely that the advocate and the rest of his staff are competent, courteous and follow through well on their cases.
15. Just because an advocate is technically qualified doesn’t mean you should hire them. You need all their professional expertise, but you must also keep in mind that you will have to spend a great deal of time working with them on your case. You must both get along personally in order for things to work out.
16. Interview multiple advocates, even if the first one seems like it’ll work. Legal issues can sometimes take a long time; therefore, you should be sure that you are very comfortable with your advocate. Choosing the first place is a big deal!
17. Look around when you first enter an advocate’s office to interview them. Are the books arranged in alphabetical order? Do you see a desk overflowing with papers and unkempt files on their desk? Is there a coat hung or just sprawled out somewhere?
18. Think about how much time and money an advocate spends. You need to put in the work and do research on all of this into your budget. You don’t need to pay thousands on an advocate that involves a much smaller amount.
19. Speak with your advocate about a timeline. Ask them for a time frame of how long it will take before your case is solved. You need to have a realistic estimate to know what to expect. The case can be mentally taxing, and charges can add up if the rest of the time.
20. The key factor in choosing an advocate is how you feel about them. Do you trust them? If not, you need to keep looking, even if they are qualified and are cheap.
21. Listen to what the advocate advises and follow his advice instead of what you’ve seen online. Each case is different and has its own set of circumstances.
22. Ask your advocate if he should come with you to appear in court. Sometimes court dates will just be formalities that you can deal with alone.
23. You do not always need to pay for an advocate. Some Public Prosecutor are great at their jobs.
24. If he seems to think your case is easy and overconfident, you should not hire them.
25. Before hiring a family law practitioner, make sure to contact the District Legal Service Authority to see whether they will offer legal assistance. Some advocates work for a reduced fee to help with filing forms and legal procedures with family law cases. They will help you through the legal process without the large expenses of an advocate.
