Many entrepreneurs and small businesses need a lawyer at one time or other but many don’t know how to find, hire or manage one. You may be asking things like:

• Where do I begin?
• How do I know if the lawyer has the right credentials?
• What kinds of questions should I ask?
• What does it cost to meet with a lawyer?
• How do know if my lawyer is any good?
• How much should I expect to pay?

Many of us are overwhelmed by the complexity of the law and feel intimidated by lawyers. Fitzgerald, a seasoned lawyer, arms you with the tools and knowledge you need to work with your lawyer toward a mutually rewarding partnership.
