Experience is key when dealing with the SBA, SBA lenders, and the applicable laws. You'll also want one who is intimately familiar with the Offer in Compromise process in case you will go that route.
For small business owners facing an SBA default, money is an issue. The last thing you want is to spend every last spare dime defending all of your other dimes left. Typically, about 10% of the amount that your SBA lawyer saved you is a fair fee for their services.
While most SBA lawyers are looking to help small business owners, some will take advantage of your situation, especially if it's turned to desperation. Ensure your SBA attorney is offering you the best advice and following the law. They also should not be charging large upfront fees.
Are you comfortable with your SBA lawyer? At the end of the day, this person is potentially holding your financial future in their hands. Do you trust them? Most SBA lawyers offer free consultations. Call up a few and see what you think. Are they optimistic? Do they sound knowledgeable? Can you work with them throughout the duration of your case?
