After an injury, one of the most important decisions facing you is choosing an experienced and trusted Houston personal injury lawyer to represent your case. This seemingly simple decision could have huge and lasting repercussions on your future. But how do you choose? Our firm offers five of our top tips for making this crucial decision.
- Choose a lawyer with experience. How many years has the attorney been in practice? What does their track record look like? These factors say a lot about a lawyer’s ability to represent you with skill and success.
- Choose an attorney who focuses on personal injury. There are many different legal fields ranging from business litigation to criminal defense to family law to bankruptcy / debt relief. Personal injury is just one narrow field, and it is complex and unique. The best attorney for your case will be one who has focused his / her career on this area of the law and to defending the rights of injury victims.
- Choose an attorney who has peer respect. Look at the attorney’s credentials and accolades. Does the lawyer have any awards or achievements? Has he or she been included in legal lists or received high ratings from peer-review legal services? Is the attorney a member of various legal associations and memberships? Has he or she served a leadership role in any of these organizations? These factors can be very telling.
- Choose a lawyer who is recommended to you. Ask around for a local referral. You can ask your doctor or friends and acquaintances. It’s important to work with a lawyer who is respected in your community. After suffering an injury, speaking with your healthcare provider could be helpful, as he or she will presumably have witnessed other similar accidents and the attorneys who assisted their patients.
- Choose an attorney you get along with! Many lawyers offer free consultations. Set up an appointment with a potential attorney, tell him / her about your case, and assess your potential working relationship. Is it a good fit? Find an attorney you like and trust.
