When you decide to buy a car, you do your homework. You may begin by determining what features are important to you in your next vehicle. You are likely to also consider the make of vehicle (i.e., the brand) and may wish to focus on purchasing a vehicle from an auto manufacturer that has a reputation for safety and/or one that compliments your lifestyle. You may also read online reviews or speak with friends and family members who own a vehicle similar to the one that you are considering.
Finally, you will almost surely want to test drive one or more vehicles before settling on “the one.” If only selecting the right car accident attorney could be so straightforward. Accident injury victims, however, may feel intimidated and uninformed when it comes to choosing the right attorney to handle their car accident lawsuits and claims. This puts injury victims at a particular risk for hiring the wrong type of attorney for their suit or an attorney that is not best suited for their case.
Our personal injury law firm presents the following tips and suggestions to help you find the right accident injury attorney for your case. If you are injured and you have questions about your legal rights or if you would like a free personal injury case analysis, please contact us at 1-800-YOURLAWYER (1-800-968-7529) for immediate assistance.
Thankfully, just as there are tips and tricks to make sure you are buying a dependable car or getting a good deal on that new electronic device, there are several tips you can use to make sure the car accident attorney you hire is right for the job:
Find an attorney who leaves you with a good impression: You should walk out of your initial consultation with the attorney with an overall good impression of your interaction with the attorney. Your impression and opinion should be based on things such as:
In choosing an accident injury attorney to represent you in your car accident case, avoid “trappings” or “decorations” that may appear at first to be indicators of success or expertise but in the end are nothing but show. Avoid measuring an attorney’s skill by the number of diplomas or awards on the wall or the number of books on the bookshelves.
Do not believe that an attorney with expensive-looking furniture is skilled or successful – such items can easily be bought on credit. Focus on what matters: Does the attorney project confidence and knowledge about car accident cases, does his or her evaluation of your case reveal someone who recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and do you feel comfortable and confident in working with this attorney.
Finally, any agreement (including a fee arrangement) should be in writing no matter how comfortable you may feel about the attorney. The details of the attorney’s representation – what he or she is representing you for, the reason(s) why he or she may withdraw from representation, the fee he or she is to be paid and when such fee is expected to be paid, and how often you should expect communication from your attorney, for example – should be spelled out in a written retainer agreement. Be sure to read this agreement carefully and do not be afraid to insist on changes if the language does not comport with your understanding of things.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
