FAQ
How much does it take to get into law school?
Although tuition costs vary by law school, they are generally between $50,000-$60,000 annually. Low-income students can receive financial aid from law schools. Students who have federal loans, including Stafford Loans, may be eligible for loan forgiveness upon graduation.
What is a pro bono lawyer?
A pro bono attorney is someone who provides legal services free of charge to those who cannot afford them. They are usually lawyers who do this as part of their job, but they also do it on their own time. They can help elderly clients with estate planning questions or represent indigent defendants.
How much should I pay for a lawyer's services?
Consider what you'll need from your lawyer if you are looking to hire one. Expect to pay between $1,000 and $2,500 an hour. Most people don't realize that this includes time spent researching your options, preparing the paperwork necessary to start the process, meeting with the lawyer, negotiating the contract details, drafting the agreement, filing fees, travel expenses, etc. Even though you may think that you are only paying for their advice, in reality, you end up spending much more.
Consider whether you wish to retain the attorney full-time, part-time, or both. Hourly rates are usually charged by full-time lawyers. Part-time attorneys typically charge by the project. Part-time lawyers are best if you need assistance only once or twice per year. But, if your needs are ongoing, you should hire a fulltime lawyer.
It is also worth considering whether you would prefer to work with a solo practitioner, or a company. Solo practitioners usually charge lower hourly rates than firms, but they often lack the resources to provide effective representation. Firms may offer more experience, greater expertise and greater access.
Also, be sure to consider the costs of malpractice insurance. Some states require that all lawyers have professional liability insurance. Others do not. To find out which insurance companies are available in your region, check with your state bar association.
Which law firm is the most lucrative?
Law firms that have been in existence for decades and have established themselves to be leaders in their industry are the highest-paid. They are able to provide exceptional service at affordable rates and have built a client base. These firms offer excellent benefits such as retirement plans or health insurance.
Which type of lawyer do you prefer?

-
You should look for a lawyer with experience representing low-income clients. This means the lawyer is familiar with how to effectively communicate with this population.

Check to see if the lawyer will accept new clients. You won't find a lawyer who will only accept certain cases.
-

-
Make sure the lawyer has a strong reputation. Ask friends and relatives for recommendations. Also, search online for reviews from other clients.
