Choosing the right co-counsel is like choosing a true business partner—you need to find someone who truly understands you and is committed to working together for the best possible outcome. Just as you would not endorse a politician whose rhetoric is unsupported by meaningful action, you should not hire a co-counsel who is not engaged in your case. It is not about picking a reputable law firm; it is about selecting an attorney who is personally invested in your success, up to date on the latest technology, and ready to be your advocate every step of the way. Your co-counsel needs to be available and share in the fight.
