When choosing a personal injury lawyer in North Cohasset, start with focus: look for an attorney whose practice centers on injury cases rather than one who handles them occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlements, since insurers respond differently when a case may go to court. Find out whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers you may face. Get the contingency terms in writing, including costs and how the fee is calculated. Confirm who will personally handle your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar before you commit.
