Here’s a new phrase that you need to learn before consulting with your first Bowling Green Kentucky DWI attorney: fee agreement. Learn it, and learn it well, because it’s very important, and you shouldn’t leave a consultation without having one of these in your hands.

So what is the fee agreement? It’s basically a piece of paper which explains things such as the attorney’s responsibilities, your responsibilities, what you’re paying them for, and how much you’ll be paying. Any agreement you guys come to about payment or tasks needs to go onto this paper, because verbal agreements just don’t hold.

You can also use the fee agreement to compare lawyers, while taking into account other factors, like experience. Just to make sure you get all of the information you need, don’t forget to ask questions like these:

• Will I be able to pay for your services in installments? If so, do I start now or after we’re done? Will there be an interest? What’s he rate?
• Can complications with my case cause this price to go up?
• What can I do to keep the price down?
