Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers treat that seriously. Look for someone who knows the local courts and the insurers that handle claims in this area. Get the contingency terms in writing, including costs and how the fee is calculated. Ask who personally handles your case day to day, and confirm that person is involved. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use our directory to compare the local attorneys listed and pick the one who answers these questions clearly.
