I HAD A CAR ACCIDENT! NOW HOW
DO I CHOOSE A LAWYER?
You have been involved in a car accident now you must choose
an attorney. Different attorneys can bring different
results and some can even ruin your case!
So when you are selecting an accident attorney, whether you are the
Plaintiff or the Defendant, you should find the best and most competent
accident attorney in your area.
I always suggest starting with your State Bar
Association. Every state has one, many states have more
than one, and they will invariably have a lawyer referral program. Some Bar Association Lawyer Referral Programs
are better than others, but most have a list of requirements for the lawyers
who are involved in their referral programs.
The Bar Association Referral Programs generally make sure the lawyer is
competent, has tried cases in your area, has no record of misconduct, and the
lawyers that you find from these programs are usually very solid, dependable
and competent.
In many State Bar Association Referral Programs you can even
choose your lawyer by the length of time they have in practice, their gender, their
age, their location and the languages they speak! So short answer, you’ve been involved in a
car accident and now you need to choose a lawyer – start with your State Bar
Association Lawyer Referral Program.
They’ve already done the research and screening for you!
I believe it is better for you to hire a lawyer who has already handled a case such as yours. Also, it would be better if you compared at least three lawyers so that you can get the best in the field. You could ask for a list of lawyers at the state bar association for you to compare and go on from there.
