Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally, since that focus shapes how quickly they spot the issues in your claim. Ask about a real trial track record, because insurers weigh whether your lawyer is willing to take a case to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers that write policies in this area. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and costs, and confirm who will personally handle 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.
