We Have Finding The Right Lawyer To Represent You Have Decided To Obtain The Services Of An Attorney

SMALL LAW FIRM VS. LARGE LAW FIRM The size of the law firm has absolutely nothing to do with how well that office will represent you and or handle your case. A large law firm 10 or more names on their letterhead will not impress an insurance adjuster into giving you a better settlement. On the contrary, adjusters who have been around, know that huge law offices have multi million dollar clients with mind boggling legal problems. Because of this those types of law firms often do not put the time nor concern into a several thousand dollar personal injury case that a small office would. The bottom line You will receive more and better attention from a small law office. Many of the best personal injury lawyers operate within the confines of a law firm with only two, three or, at the very most, four associates.

BEWARE OF LAWYERS WHO REPRESENT DEFENDANTS The practice of law has become incredibly specialized. Find a lawyer who has experience representing claimants called Plaintiffs in legalese in personal injury cases.You are a Plaintiff. Be careful not to be represented by someone who is primarily an attorney for Defendants. These lawyers way of thinking are usually too closely tied to the values, attitudes and mental outlook of their cold and calculating insurance company clients. More often than not they will not extend themselves or battle as hard consciously or unconsciously to obtain top dollar for your claim. To you four or five hundred dollars more is a lot of money. To them its a drop in the bucket

COMPARISON SHOP Talk to friends, acquaintances and or co workers who may have been represented by a lawyer on their own personal injury claim. Personal Injury lawyers normally dont charge for an initial consultation. But, before you meet with them, find out if they do. If the answer to that is yes, go somewhere else.

While chatting with the lawyer, getting to know him and generally speaking what your case is all about, you should find out

1 How long have they been in practice 10 years plus thats good. 6 to 8 years is just okay. 3 to 4 years is highly questionable. 2 years or less is totally unacceptable.

2 Roughly what percentage of his practice involves personal injury cases If its less than 75 say goodbye.

PAYING THE LAWYER THE WRITTEN FEE AGREEMENT After you have discussed the facts of your case you may be able to get some sense from the attorney how much he thinks your case is worth, and how difficult it may be to get the insurance company to pay that amount.

If you are at fault for the accident and it is only your damaged ego that demands legal action he is going to charge you for every move he makes and there can be a ton of them at hundreds of dollars an hour. If you have a case in which the other driver is clearly at fault and your damages are substantial his heart will be pounding with glee and he will be salivating furiously to have you hire him. In that instance he will be quite willing to waive all potential charges.
