Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Look for a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a firm will go to court. Ask about knowledge of local courts and the insurers you may face. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including costs and who pays them. Confirm who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory, and pick the one who answers them plainly.
