There may be times when an individual or
organization is uncertain whether an attorney is
necessary or desirable to assist on a matter. Even
if one realizes that he or she wants to hire an
attorney, it may be difficult to determine whether a
particular law firm has the expertise needed. In addition, as the law
changes, clients of existing law firms, whether of Casner & Edwards or another firm, may need to be advised of those changes.

Not all of the areas of interest to a potential client can be addressed here, nor can all of the changes to the law be noted. This section merely provides some general questions, comments or ideas for clients and potential clients to consider when seeking an attorney’s advice.
