finding an attorney

[Todd M.]

I'm looking for recommendations on finding an attorney . I own a duplex (in LLC) and 4 plex (in my name for now) with aspirations of growing bigger. Maybe you saw my previous post on a tenant slipping on ice.

Anyhow, my local list of MHA attorneys is pretty big, so my current focus is creating a shorter list:

Do you have suggested interview questions?
How do you typically work with your legal team/person; e.g by the hour, yearly retainer?

I want them to review my current lease procedures and paperwork and also be someone to call when tenants try to come after me in the future.

Suggestions? Opinions?
