Finding a lawyer to answer my questions? |
Basically I have a ton of questions to ask a lawyer because I'm starting a business. I have lots of questions concerning fraud too. Does anyone know how I would find a lawyer who specializes in those fields and does anyone know roughly what it would cost to have him answer me about 20 questions, specificially about online business and fraud? Thanks for any help. There is a sight that gives free information -- I would start by using www.nolo.com to research any questions you want to have answered. That way, you aren't paying an attorney for info you can get for free. The rest of the information depends on the difficulty of the questions (i.e. 20 yes/no questions takes 1/2 hour. 20 longer questions could take several hours.) and the hourly rate of the attorney. You really have to ask. To find attorney's in your area, use one of the legal search sites. www.findlaw.com, www.abanet.org, or www.martindale.com -- all are good sites. about 5,000 If you want to ask an attorney these questions, it may cost you quite a bit. Some attorneys have free consultation, however. You can make use of this by going through the yellow pages and find the ones that do, then give them a call. Explain what you want to do and ask if and how they can help you. If done correctly, You can get at least 1 or 2 questions answered by each attorney for free. The problem is that though you received an answer, all it is is guidance -- there are no promises to represent you. Depending on your type of business, you may want to have a full time attorney. There are alternatives to getting your answers: contact the small business administration (SBA), go by one of those document preparation services (We the People) and tell them what you want to do. Ask how they can help. Do not make any commitment until you have had time to think things over. http://www.sba.gov/ http://www.wethepeopleusa.com/ Do a search using the link below for business lawyers in your state. http://www.targetlaw.com find your local bar referral service through the ABA. as to cost any answer you receive is baseless. it depends where you live type of law, amount of time, experience of the lawyer and other factors. There is no such thing as 20 questions! |
