Questions to ask a employment attorney company before you hire

The right questions separate a professional company from a gamble. Bring this list to every conversation — the answers (and how readily they come) tell you most of what you need to know. This guide compares 71 employment attorney companies across 1 states.

Ask every candidate these

  • What happens if the job runs over or hits a surprise?
  • What does your quote include — and what isn't included?
  • What's your timeline, and how do you handle delays?
  • Who exactly will be doing the work?
  • What do you need from me to get started?
  • How long have you been doing this kind of work?
  • Can you provide references for similar jobs?
  • Can I see recent examples of services like mine?
  • Are you the one doing the work, or do you subcontract it?

Reading the answers

A trustworthy company answers plainly, puts the important things in writing, and doesn't bristle at being asked. Vague answers, pressure to decide now, or reluctance to document the scope are all reasons to keep looking.

Common questions

Is it rude to ask this many questions?

Not at all. Professional companies are used to it and welcome it — it's the ones who dodge that you should worry about.

What's the single most important question?

Whatever confirms accountability: proof of credentials and a clear, written scope. Everything else builds on those.
