If you have used an attorney in the past for a different issue, you can even consider asking for a referral.

Learn some knowledge about the lawyer's past work

During your consultation, one of your most important questions will be in regards to the attorney’s background. Remember, this consultation is like a job interview, except you are the one doing the hiring. This is a person whose services you are going to pay for and you deserve to have someone who has the expertise necessary to assist you.
