Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury, not one who handles it occasionally. Look for a real trial track record, since insurers assess how a case might fare in court. Knowledge of local courts and insurers matters, so ask how familiar the lawyer is with the Atlanta area. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including costs and how fees are calculated. Ask who personally handles your case and who you will speak with day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory.
