  • Choosing an injury attorney can be a challenge.
    There are so many out there. Some attorneys have
    their names and faces plastered on billboards,
    while others don't even advertise. Some have
    offices in high-rise buildings, while others work
    out of strip malls.

Some Personal Injury attorneys limit their
practices to catastrophic injuries from medical
malpractice and wrongful death. Others
concentrate on asbestos and related toxic
poisoning cases. Many have expertise in car
accidents, slip and falls, and workers'
compensation.
Attorneys come in all shapes and sizes. They seem
to be everywhere. When you've been injured,
choosing the right attorney can be overwhelming.
Here we discuss how you can find and choose an
attorney who will be your best advocate.

  • You must have total confidence in your attorney.
    You don't want to be second guessing him
    throughout your case. Using your existing network
    is a great way to find someone who's trustworthy
    and accountable.
  • There's nothing wrong with reading an attorney's
    advertisements. Those ads can tell you what types
    of cases the attorney handles and where they
    practice. But advertisements should not be used
    as the sole basis of your decision.

Check the Attorney's rating

  • Regardless of where you find your attorney, make
    sure they are a member in good standing of their
    state and local bar association. Larger bar
    associations have attorney referral lists you can
    access at no charge.

You should also use online rating guides to get
an idea of the attorney's standing. Ratings serve
as an objective indicator of a lawyer's skill and
reputation.

Once you've gotten recommendations and checked
ratings for all your potential attorneys, narrow
down your options and create a shortlist of 3 or
4 candidates. The next step will be making calls
and setting up appointments.
For an attorney, choosing an office location is a
personal preference. There's no legitimate
correlation between an expensive office location
and an attorney who will best represent your
interests.

Factors to Consider

  • A personal injury attorney can have many years of
    experience or relatively few. If the attorney has
    been practicing for many years, he may have such
    a heavy caseload he won't be able to give your
    case the time it needs. Or he may just not be as
    enthusiastic as he was when he started out. Maybe
    he won't put his entire effort behind your case.

When you look at a personal injury attorney's
website, billboard, or television spot, you're
seeing only what the attorney wants you to see.
You won't see the cases he lost, or hear about
clients who fired him for non-performance. Never
take what you see on a website or TV at face
value. Use the information as one of many factors
you'll consider when making your selection.

Having a luxurious office in a fancy building is
no guarantee the attorney will do a good job on
your case. Choosing an injury attorney based on
appearance alone can be a mistake. Some attorneys
choose to locate their practices in sleek office
buildings, while others prefer to maintain a
lower profile.
Choosing an injury attorney now becomes more
personal. Advertisements and recommendations from
friends and family can be helpful, but you'll
ultimately have to rely on your own personal
experience. You must have confidence in the
attorney and his ability to represent your best
interests.

Ask yourself the following questions

  • Did the attorney appear well-groomed and
    professional?
  • Your attorney may have to attend court hearings
    or depositions with other attorneys.
  • A professional appearance and demeanor is
    important.
  • Did the attorney give you their undivided
    attention?
  • If the attorney can't even give you 15 minutes of
    his attention the first time he meets you,
    there's a good chance your case will be handled
    the same way.
  • Do you feel confident in this attorney?
  • After weighing all the factors, your decision
    will likely come down to your gut feeling about
    the attorney. If they inspired confidence and
    made you feel comfortable from your first
    contact, they may be the right attorney for you.
