Hire the Right Lawyer
You’ll likely want a lawyer with a track record of success in cases like yours. Ideally, they have tried cases, and not just negotiated settlements. That convinces defendants (the other side) that they might lose the case.
You need someone who will respect your needs and care about the outcome. To get that lawyer, it helps to be an attractive client - organized and clear.
Most people have never worked with a lawyer before. We work with them all the time. We’ll help you know what you need in a solid attorney relationship and find options that work for you.
Here are some questions you should be asking:
What professionals have I been comfortable working with?
What things am I worried about discussing with a lawyer?
Is my lawyer respectful and caring?
How does my lawyer treat their staff?
Will I feel more comfortable speaking in person?
How quickly should I expect my lawyer to call me back?
Has my lawyer tried any cases in court?
Has my lawyer tried cases like mine?
What was the outcome of those cases?
What is my lawyer’s settlement track record?
What is my lawyer’s reputation with other lawyers?
