Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally, since that focus shapes how your case is built. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlement experience, because insurers respond to attorneys who are willing to go to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers that handle claims in your area. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory.
