Bring these facts

Ask before hiring
- What exactly is included and excluded from the quoted scope?
- Who will do the work: the attorney, an associate, a paralegal, or a mixed team?
- What events can change the fee, timeline, or required retainer?
- How often will billing updates or case-status updates be sent?
