"This series seeks to help bicyclists hire the best attorney -- the real lawyers, the trial lawyers, the people that will fight for you that are effective advocates as opposed to 'marketing' lawyers." - Richard Duquette
Every case is different and every client is unique. Similarly, you can hire a specific lawyer for your case. The criteria typically aligns with that lawyer's motivation, values, and concerns.
There are several reasons why people hire a lawyer. Among them are the need for guidance, maximum recovery, and more.
What are the things to consider when hiring an injury lawyer? First of all, seek a qualified lawyer. There are inexperienced "marketing" lawyers that abound.
To prevent mistakes in hiring a lawyer, make sure to ask the right questions to your prospective lawyer. You can ask whether he has tried a case before a jury and whether he succeeded. The inexperienced ones will readily give you a set of excuses why you don't need a "trial" lawyer. Beware of them.
Another question to ask is whether the lawyer in-charge of taking your case will go to trial? Trial lawyers are trained to reject low ball insurance company offers and go to a jury trial.
