When choosing from the local attorneys in our directory, start with focus. Look for a lawyer who handles personal injury cases regularly, not one who takes them occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers treat that seriously. Find out whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers you may face. Get the contingency terms in writing, including costs and who pays them. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. These steps help you compare listings and pick with confidence.
