Hire a specialist. Always make sure your attorney handles only
Personal Injury law cases. You wouldn't hire a probate attorney to handle a
divorce or criminal matter. Personal injury cases need personal injury
lawyers.
Hire an attorney in the county where you live or where the accident
occurred. Many people in the greater Bay Area and Sacramento Valley hire
a personal injury attorney from Southern California. Your Personal Injury
attorney must know and be familiar with the local courts and the various places
that apply to your circumstances. You need to be able to see and speak with
your attorney on a regular basis. Why separate yourself physically or
logistically from your lawyer or your case?
Meet with an attorney before you hire them. The attorneys handling your case
will guide you through what could be the most
significant and important event in your life. The decisions the lawyer makes
will have long term consequences for you. Why trust such decisions to a
paralegal, legal assistant or investigator? Your attorney must personally
understand your case. Make sure you sit down and discuss your case in detail
before you retain any lawyer.
