How to choose a lawyer in Rayne

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Look for a real trial track record, since insurers assess how willing a firm is to go to court. Ask whether the lawyer knows the local courts and insurers that may be involved in your case. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and costs. Confirm who personally handles your case and who you will speak with day to day. Check the State Bar for licensing and any discipline history. Use our directory to compare local attorneys on these points before you decide.
