How to choose a lawyer in Rye Brook

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury, not one who handles it occasionally. Look for a real trial track record, since insurers may take you more seriously if your lawyer has courtroom experience. Ask whether the lawyer knows the local courts and insurers that may be involved in your case. Get clear contingency terms in writing: what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays expenses. Find out who personally handles your case, and check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use our directory to compare local attorneys on these points before you decide.
