Tips to Ensure You Get the Best Personal Injury Attorney


The TV is inundated with flashy advertisements from personal injury attorneys, and the Internet is sometimes not all that helpful as many sites do not tell you much about the firm or the attorneys.  While it can sound good, it is important to place your trust in the right attorney in order to get a fair settlement for injuries or death suffered as the result of someone else’s negligence.
The NOLO website advises that you look for an attorney that has “experience handling your type of personal injury claim -- and whom you feel that you can trust.”  They suggest if you already have a relationship with an attorney, that you ask them for a referral to a trustworthy personal injury lawyer.
Once you have a firm in mind, do a little research such as finding out something about their background and philosophy.  For example Schiff & Associates’ attorneys will tell you that the best part of their job is getting a fair settlement for their clients.  As our attorney, Craig T. Smith, explains, “There’s a satisfaction that comes when I make a difference in people’s lives.” He adds, With a staff of highly-trained and capable legal assistants and paralegals, we pull together as a team to make positive differences for families so they can go forward with their lives.”
Another thing you should know about the firm is how many years have they been in business.  At Schiff & Associates, Scott Schiff started the law firm in 1985, and began by specializing in civil litigation with an emphasis on catastrophic injury and wrongful death.
Also when you consult with an attorney regarding your case, ask who will handle your claim and if they have experience in your type of injury.  Furthermore, are they willing to go to trial if the case requires it?  At Schiff & Associates, our team of attorneys specializes in various areas of personal injury law and is ready to go to trial if your case requires it. 
Finally find out if your lawyer has a record of winning.  At Schiff & Associates, we are proud to let our clients know about our winning tradition and post a small sampling of case settlements on our website.  Please contact us for more information regarding our firm. 
The experienced team of Schiff & Associates has 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.  Contact us for more information on expert legal services from Columbus, Ohio’s top personal injury lawyer.
