Four questions to ask your personal injury attorney during your initial consultation
The success or failure of your case depends on having the proper legal representation, but with so many lawyers to choose from, making a good decision might take a lot of work. Therefore, to determine whether or not your potential attorney is the right person for your case, ask them these four questions:
What cases do you typically handle?
If you need help with a personal injury claim, you must work with an attorney who handles these cases regularly. Even if the attorney is a phenomenal criminal defense attorney, that doesn’t mean they will do well with your personal injury case. If they only handle personal injury cases on the side, you might not be getting the attention or the knowledgeable experience you deserve. Also, there are different types of personal injury cases, so find out which ones the attorney handles and their success rate.
How would you advise me?
Personal injury lawyers have different approaches to how they handle cases. During the initial consultation, ask the lawyer how they plan to handle your case to determine whether you like their approach. Find out if they take an aggressive or a passive approach and what advice they have for you based on the facts of your case.
Who will I speak with if I have a question or concern?
Not all firms provide you with the one-on-one personal attention you need. Before you decide to work with an attorney, find out whether you’ll be discussing your concerns with them or be relegated to someone else or, worse, a voicemail machine. If they will communicate with you directly, find out whether they prefer email, phone calls, or in-person meetings. Does their answer sit well with you? If you’ll be working together for months to come, you need to ensure their answer is one you feel comfortable with.
At Goodman Acker, P.C., we take a personalized approach with all our clients and dedicate a team to each one, so you don’t have to worry about being passed around.
How will I pay for your legal services?
Payment of legal fees is always a significant concern for clients, and talking about it might seem awkward. But it’s better than being blindsided with a bill you can’t pay. So, ask the attorney about their fee structure. Most law firms work on a contingency fee basis, meaning their fee is contingent on winning your case.
At Goodman Acker, P.C., we don’t charge a dime unless we win your case, and we have a 99% success rate. When you work with us, you can be confident in our ability to fight for your interests.
