Start by looking for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers often treat cases differently when an attorney is willing to go to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and insurers, and ask for clear contingency terms in writing, including costs and how the fee is calculated. Find out 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.
