What Should You Seek in a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Distasio Law Firm seeks specific criteria when it hires attorneys. You may seek the same criteria in your own lawyer. Your personal injury lawyer should:
Have experience with your specific case type: Personal injury law covers a wide range of case types, from medical malpractice to auto accidents and premises liability. A client should always seek an attorney who has experience with their specific case type.
Have proven results: Promising results is easy. Actually delivering is an entirely different challenge. Distasio Law Firm publishes our case results so that clients know what we’ve actually accomplished. Before you hire a law firm for your personal injury case, you should understand what they’ve done for clients before you.
Be honest and direct: You may find yourself in an unfamiliar situation, whether or not you’ve dealt with a personal injury case before. You likely have questions, and a personal injury lawyer should be more than willing to answer those questions. More specifically, a lawyer should have honest, clear answers to your questions. If you feel that an attorney is not direct or forthcoming, then you may consider hiring a different attorney.
Be willing to go the extra mile for you: During your free consultation, you may get a sense of a lawyer’s attention to your case. You may also review client testimonials to determine whether an attorney goes the extra mile for their clients. If you don’t feel valued as a client, then an attorney may not be right for you.
Finding the right attorney is not an exact science. However, reading a firm’s client reviews and examining their case results are two ways to start the search process. During your free consultation, you may trust your instincts to determine if a firm is right for you.
