Before you contact a provider
- Describe the problem or objective clearly and ask whether it falls within the professional's usual scope of work.
- Confirm fee structure, retainers, engagement terms, timelines, and who will actually perform the work.
- For regulated professions, confirm current registration or licensing directly with the applicable regulator when relevant.
