How to Choose the Right Lawyer for Your Case
In the field of law, experience counts. You should choose an attorney with extensive knowledge of and experience with the type of case that you are pursuing. This is important to ensure that you obtain the best verdict or settlement possible.
In a personal injury case, the defendant corporation, insurance company or other entity defending the case (and their attorneys) will make a decision about how large a settlement to offer, based in part on their judgment about how likely your attorney is to take the case to trial and win. So, you want an attorney on your side with proven experience in the field who has consistently taken cases to trial and won favorable verdicts.
