An attorney's experience and legal ability are important, but it is essential to feel that your attorney understands and cares about you. It’s extremely important to have a good relationship and honest communication with your legal representative. This is because you’re going to be working together for a while, and you have a right to feel 100% confident that your attorney is always on your side.
