How To Choose a Lawyer

Selecting an attorney is the single most important aspect in determining the outcome of your case. Here are a few important things that you should consider when making your choice;

1. Have you visited their office?

This is an extremely important step. You should visit the prospective attorney's office, and meet with the attorneys and their staff.

Why? Because they will be working on your case; communicating with you over the course of your litigation which, depending upon its complexity and the extent of your injuries could be anywhere from a few months to upwards of a year. 

2. Ask questions.

    Is the attorney accessible to me? 

    Will he return my calls promptly?

    Does he have experience?

    How many cases like mine has he handled?

    How many cases has he won or lost?

    What is the largest amount of client-compensation he has been awarded?

    Does the firm prefer to litigate or reach an out-of-court settlement?

    Who might some previous clients be and will they give a reference?

    What are the fees and payment terms?

    Do they have a full time investigations department?
   

Visiting the office and asking questions is the only way you can make an informed decision. It's also the only way you can determine whether the firm has the energy, experience and dedication, as well as the resources to litigate your claim in such a way as to maximize the compensation.
