When you are ready to stand up for your rights and hold a negligent party accountable for causing your personal injuries, choosing the right lawyer will be the first important step you will take on the road to justice and compensation.

In fact, while retaining a personal injury attorney will be among your initial moves in your pursuit of justice, it will also likely be one of the MOST important choices you make in the course of your case. This is because, with the right personal injury attorney representing you, you can optimize your chances of:

Winning your case
Securing the highest possible compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, property damage, etc.

Tips for Choosing the Best Personal Injury Attorney…

When you are ready to take the first step on the road to justice, here are some tips to follow on how to choose the best personal injury attorney to represent you.

Tip 1 – Start with Referrals & Some Online Research

When you are ready to start your search for the best personal injury attorney to handle your important legal matters, you may want to ask friends and family for referrals. If, however, you get a bunch of – or no – referrals, do an online search for local PI lawyers in your area.

Given that these searches can yield hundreds (if not thousands) of results, make a list of your top 10 (or so) candidates, based on looking through their websites. From here, you can start the process of narrowing down your best choices.

Tip 2 – Check Out the Specific Experience of a Personal Injury Attorney

Personal injury is a vast area of law, and not every personal injury attorney will specialize in handling every type of case. Therefore, just because a lawyer’s practice is based on personal injury law, don’t assume that lawyer is experienced at handling cases like yours.

Instead, make sure to check out the stated practice areas on the lawyer’s website and/or call the firm directly to inquire about whether it handles cases like yours. Avoid moving forward with a personal injury attorney who does not specifically specialize in or have experience with cases like yours.

Check out the additional installments of this blog series for some more helpful tips that you can use when you are ready to choose the best personal injury attorney to represent you.

Tip 3 – Take a Deeper Look at an Attorney’s Professional Reputation

Once you have narrowed down your list of possible lawyers who specialize in cases like yours, you should then turn your researching skills to the state bar association where you can find out if a given personal injury attorney:

Is, in fact, licensed in your state
Has any official censures or negative marks on his professional record
Has any accolades or professional awards that would set him or her above the pack.

Here, the point is that you shouldn’t just expect that a lawyer has the credentials (s)he claims to have and/or that (s)he has a record of acting ethically and professionally. Crosschecking a lawyer’s reputation with the state bar can be an easy and yet powerful way for you to rule out attorneys who may be less than effective, trustworthy and/or experienced.

Tip 4 – See What Former Clients Have to Say about a Personal Injury Attorney

As you delve into the professional reputation of a personal injury attorney, what his former clients have to say about their experience with him will be just as important as what his record is with the state bar association. This is because former clients can give you a valuable insight as to what you can expect in terms of the personal experience that a particular attorney can offer you.

Specifically, you should focus on elements of the attorney-client relationship that you may value, which may include factors like:

Receiving regular case updates
Getting phone calls and/or emails promptly returned
Having direct access to the attorney (rather than primarily dealing with non-attorney staff at a law firm)
Getting honest answers about your case and its progress.

Here, it’s also important to point out that:

While reading client testimonials on the lawyer’s website can be informative, make an effort to look at reviews on third-party sites. These will likely provide a more well-rounded perspective.
Consider calling a law firm and asking for references you can call on the phone. This can give you an opportunity to talk directly with former clients and ask specific questions about their experience (rather than only being privy to the aspects included in a posted review).

Tip 5 – Talk to Your Top Choices

When you are ready to move forward with the best personal injury attorney, contact Bahr and Kreidle. We will advocate your rights and help you get the compensation you deserve.

You can only learn so much about a personal injury attorney from your online or other research. Once you’ve narrowed your options down to a handful or less, consider making the time to meet with each candidate – or, at the very least, arranging some time to speak with each personal injury attorney on the phone.

Whether you meet face-to-face or speak with a lawyer via phone, make sure you ask some specific questions that can better help you assess the quality of service a given personal injury attorney may offer.

Examples of questions you may want to ask when you speak to a candidate include (but are not exclusive to):

How long have practiced law?
How much experience do you have with cases like mine?
What is your success rate with cases like mine?
What can I expect in terms of service from you?
What sets you apart from other lawyers?
Why should I hire you instead of someone else?

Tip 6 – Trust Your Instincts

After you speak with your top choices for lawyers, make your final decision based on your instincts – namely, choose a personal injury attorney who made you feel comfortable, whom you trust and whom you can rely on for the weeks or months to come as your case progresses towards its resolution.

If you have an odd, uncomfortable or bad feeling about any of the lawyers with whom you meet, trust your gut and do not move forward with that individual. The bottom line is that you will need to be able to fully trust your personal injury attorney as you move forward, and your gut reaction should guide you in the final decision-making process.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing!! If your looking and for legal help look no further. Mike Bhar and his lovely assistant Lana are amazing. Prompt, compassionate and really know what they are doing. Our family went through hardships after being ran over while on a motorcycle. The team guided us through the process and truly served us justice when the courts failed to do so. Mike was reassuring and took away the anxiety I had throughout the whole process. We were able to get the help for my injuries that were really needed and help get us back on our feet. We will forever be grateful for the help recieved by Mike and Lana at Littleton Lawyers. The event was traumatic and left a dent in our lives that almost crashed everything we have built. Not sure where we would be without these fantastic people. Saved our family from the worst. If your looking for honesty integrity and people that are passionate about what they do and will do it with confidence call Mike. I'll never call anyone else again for my legal troubles. Wonderful people that are human just like the rest of us. They will fight for you and everything that matters most. ❤️ Thank you guys again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael Bahr is absolutely amazing! I was in a head on collision and after talking with several attorneys decided to go with Mike Bahr. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. He is compassionate, reasonable, and a good lawyer all together. I was able to claim the maximum benefits from both my insurance and the at-fault parties due to the extent of my injuries. When you are in an accident there is a lot of unknowns that add additional stress on top of trying to heal. Mike was able to answer all the questions I had and made sure I was focused on recovery. On top of just being an outstanding person and attorney he also was reasonably priced. Some attorneys are only in it for the money, but Mike Bahr genuinely seems like he wants to help people. He was extremely helpful during one of the most stressful times in my life and for that I couldn’t be more grateful. If you are ever involved in an accident I 100% would recommend reaching out to Mike Bahr.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and Ben both worked on my case against the seller of my house that did not disclose a mouse infestation. Both of them listened to my case and discussed possible strategies to help me win. They had very little time to prepare (roughly a month) between the mediation and the trial. They were both very sympathetic to what had been an incredibly stressful situation. Because of Ben and Mike's help I ended up winning my case and I am beyond grateful for their help.

This office is so amazing, I want to share my experience about these amazing two people we met, Michael Bahr and Renee Vigil, We reached out to them to get help with fighting for grandparents rights, Due to my Son Passed away and now the ex-daughter in law wants to restrict us from seeing our grandkids. We had hired an other lawyer who was top of the line Lawyer  only to tap out of retainer fee of thousands of dollars to get really nowhere, When I met Michael and Renee I immediately felt the difference of them being  Caring, Compassionate and felt they were not just lawyers but real people who felt my story.
