Find an Attorney You Can Trust

You must have total confidence in your attorney. You don't want to be second guessing him throughout your case. Using your existing network is a great way to find someone who's trustworthy and accountable.

There's nothing wrong with reading an attorney's advertisements. Those ads can tell you whattypes of casesthe attorney handles and where they practice. But advertisements should not be used as the sole basis of your decision.

Check the Attorney's rating

Regardless of where you find your attorney, make sure they are a member in good standing of their state and localbar association. Larger bar associations have attorney referral lists you can access at no charge.

You should also use online rating guides to get an idea of the attorney's standing. Ratings serve as an objective indicator of a lawyer's skill and reputation.

Once you've gotten recommendations and checked ratings for all your potential attorneys, narrow down your options and create a shortlist of 3 or 4 candidates. The next step will be making calls and setting up appointments.

For an attorney, choosing an office location is a personal preference. There's no legitimate correlation between an expensive office location and an attorney who will best represent your interests.Contact Us - +1-212-572-4832http://www.onemillionlaw.com/[email protected]

Factors to Consider

A personal injury attorney can have many years of experience or relatively few. If the attorney has been practicing for many years, he may have such a heavy caseload he won't be able to give your case the time it needs. Or he may just not be as enthusiastic as he was when he started out. Maybe he won't put his entire effort behind your case.When you look at a personal injury attorney's website, billboard, or television spot, you're seeing only what the attorney wants you to see. You won't see the cases he lost, or hear about clients who fired him for non-performance. Never take what you see on a website or TV at face value. Use the information as one of many factors you'll consider when making your selection.

Having a luxurious office in a fancy building is no guarantee the attorney will do a good job on your case. Choosing an injury attorney based on appearance alone can be a mistake. Some attorneys choose to locate their practices in sleek office buildings, while others prefer to maintain a lower profile.Choosing an injury attorney now becomes more personal. Advertisements and recommendations from friends and family can be helpful, but you'll ultimately have to rely on your own personal experience.Youmust have confidence in the attorney and his ability to represent your best interests.

Ask yourself the following questions:

Did the attorney appear well-groomed and professional?

Your attorney may have to attend court hearings or depositions with other attorneys. A professional appearance and demeanor is important.Did the attorney give you their undivided attention?

If the attorney can't even give you 15 minutes of his attention the first time he meets you, there's a good chance your case will be handled the same way.Do you feel confident in this attorney?

After weighing all the factors, your decision will likely come down to your gut feeling about the attorney. If they inspired confidence and made you feel comfortable from your first contact, they may be the right attorney for you.
