Key Topics Discussed

- Litigator vs. Transactional Lawyer – Understanding the critical difference and why it can make or break your case.
- How Much and How Long? – Why lawyers hesitate to answer these questions and how to press for realistic estimates.
- Options Beyond Litigation – Mediation, arbitration, settlement, and when they may serve you better.
- Time Commitment – What your lawyer will need from you and your team to build the strongest case.
- Business Understanding – Why the best attorneys act like business partners, not just legal technicians.
- Deal Breakers – The one thing Nicki G says will instantly make her walk away from representing a client.
