Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a lawyer is willing to go to court. Confirm the lawyer knows local courts and the insurers you may deal with. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including costs and how the fee is calculated. Ask who personally handles your case 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.
