How to Evaluate & Select a Qualified Catastrophic Personal Injury Attorney
With so much at stake, selecting seasoned and qualified legal representation is critical in these catastrophic personal injury cases. You’ll want to know about the attorney’s process of preparing personal injury cases for trial as well as his or her experience in taking these specific cases to court—some may excel in one part of the legal process more than another. Ideally you'll want a firm that can capably handle your case through all the stages of the legal process.
If you're relying on an online search, remember that it's fairly easy and inexpensive for people with a wide range of experience and credentials to create an online presence. Many personal injury attorneys only prepare cases to the level expected to generate a settlement. If in fact your case is not settled out of court and needs to go to trial, you may need another attorney to further prepare and then try your case. These additional efforts might cost you, both in lost time and additional fees.
At Lipcon, Margulies and Alsina, however, your case will be prepared from the outset as if it will go to trial. That additional level of preparation ensures that your case will be in a much stronger position for a potential settlement, and if a court case is necessary, your case won’t need to be handed off to another firm for trial preparation and representation.
An in-person consultation is the best way to evaluate the quality level of each attorney you’re considering. Most law firms will offer an initial free consultation to assess your case and answer your initial questions. Check the lawyer's work product by using Google, LexisNexis or other search engines. That way you can find out additional information about each attorney.
