How do you find out who in your local community is the best for your case? I believe that there are certain questions to ask that will lead you to the best person for your case—no matter what type of claim you have. It may involve some time on your part, but that’s OK because the decision as to who your attorney will be is very important.
The world of personal injury claims is, in my opinion, much too specialized for someone who does not regularly handle these cases. Too many times we have looked at cases that other—inexperienced—attorneys have handled. Sometimes they were divorce or criminal attorneys trying to help out a client. That’s just no good. Get a specialist.

You should be aware that the insurance companies who defend personal injury and accident cases know who the attorneys are in your area who actually go into court to try cases and who do not. The insurance companies use that information to evaluate their risk. One of the first questions some insurance adjusters will ask when a serious claim comes in is: who is representing the plaintiff? I’ve heard insurance defense lawyers laugh as they head for trial against one of these attorneys! Its like shooting fish in a barrel for them.

If this information is important to the insurance company, shouldn’t it be important to you?
