Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally, since that focus shapes how well they know injury claims and insurers. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlements, and whether they know the local courts and the insurers that handle claims in this area. Get the contingency terms in writing and confirm there is no fee unless you win. Ask 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 listed in our directory.
