How to choose a lawyer in Bolt

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers treat that seriously. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers that write policies in your area. Get the contingency terms in writing: what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays costs. Ask who personally handles your case, and whether an assistant or another lawyer will do most of the work. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.
