Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlement experience, because insurers treat trial-ready attorneys differently. Look for someone who knows the local courts and insurers that would handle your claim. Get clear contingency terms in writing: what percentage the lawyer takes, when costs are deducted, and whether you owe anything if you lose. Ask who personally handles your case and who you will speak with day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Our directory helps you compare local attorneys on these points before you call.

If you are unsure about your next step, our directory can help you find a local attorney to review your situation.
