Tips for Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer


We have all heard stories about someone who hires a personal injury attorney and then is sorely disappointed by the lack of attention their case gets and the overall quality of the representative they receive.  Poor communication, missed deadlines, and a general sense that your case is not going anywhere probably means you chose the wrong attorney or law firm to represent you.
So how can you prevent that from happening?  To start with, you can ask friends or acquaintances for referrals, and if they had a positive experience with a particular lawyer or firm, you may want to consider them.  In addition if you have had a good experience with an attorney in another area of practice, ask them for a referral to a personal injury attorney.  However just remember that before you agree to have anyone represent you, you need to meet face to face.  This allows you to determine if the lawyer is someone you would feel comfortable working with and whether they seem prepared to take the steps you need to achieve a successful outcome.
Another way to select the best attorney for your case is to visit their website and read the background material about them and the firm.  It is important to know how long the firm has been in practice and how successful are they in winning cases.  Also do they have experience with your type of case?  Furthermore, you can contact your state bar association to see if they are in good standing.
At Schiff & Associates your initial consultation is free.  If we take your case, it will be on a contingency basis so there are no attorney costs or fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf.  We recommend before your scheduled consultation you take a few minutes to write down details of your case and any questions or concerns you wish to discuss.  That not only saves time but ensures we cover everything you want to know. 
The experienced attorneys at Schiff & Associates have offered the area trusted legal representation in cases of personal injury and wrongful death since 1982.  We have a history of getting clients the results they deserve and recognize that financial recovery from an accident is just as important as physical recovery.  Call today for information regarding legal services from Columbus, Ohio’s top personal injury lawyer.
