How to Find the Best Personal Injury Attorney For Your Case

September 28th, 2011

If you have been injured in an accident, you may not actually need a lawyer. But, if you find that dealing with the claim on your own is too overwhelming, you’ll probably want to at least consult with a nationally board-certified personal injury attorney in your area.

How can you tell the difference between an experienced and able personal injury attorney and a “generalist” who also “handles” car accident cases?

Here are some tips:

CALL AND ASK FOR WRITTEN INFORMATION. Don’t agree to a “free consultation” without knowing who you are meeting. Usually, there is no rush with a personal injury claim. While each state is different, most states give you anywhere from six months (to assert a claim against a governmental agency or city) to several years to file your claim. So when calling a lawyer’s office, ask them to send you their “information package on YOUR TYPE OF case.” Ask them to include anything you should read that would convince you to hire them as your attorneys. If they say, “The only way to get this information is to come in,” all you have to do is hang up. Just like buying a high-priced consumer product, you are usually better off doing all of your initial research in the comfort of your own home. You don’t want to be subjected to any high pressure sales tactics, do you?

BEWARE OF ANY LAWYER WHO PHONES YOU FIRST. And beware of a lawyer who has someone else directly solicit you in person after you have been injured. Did someone show up in an emergency room and offer to hook you up with a lawyer? Run. This is illegal in most states. In-person solicitation by a lawyer (or someone representing a law firm) who does not have a prior relationship with you is universally condemned. Some lawyers may contact you by mail after you have been in an accident. No problem with that. You can just throw the letters away if you want.

After you have done your preliminary homework, NARROW YOUR SEARCH TO THREE TO FIVE LAWYERS who appear to be experienced with your legal problem. Make an appointment to interview them. There is no substitute for an in-person interview. No matter how experienced or successful a lawyer is, you must feel comfortable with them. You have to trust them. Many will agree to meet you in your home if you cannot travel to the office.

Now that you have arranged an in-person interview, ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS if you are looking for a personal injury or medical malpractice attorney. Remember, the best and most experienced attorneys usually have a line of people begging to hire them. They are usually very selective in choosing the types of cases they will handle. These attorneys will not be insulted or put off by your questions but rather they will welcome them, because it shows you are taking steps to educate yourself.

A sample of important questions to ask:
1. Do you have actual experience handling my type of case?
2. Where can I read about your other cases?
3. Have you won any large verdicts or settlements? 4. Are you board certified by any state or nationally recognized organizations?
5. Do you carry malpractice insurance?
6. Have you been disciplined by your state bar association?
7. Who in your office will be working on my case?
8. What is my case worth?
9. Do you represent any insurance companies at all? (You really need to know where their interests lie. Some lawyers do most of their work for the insurance companies. This may suit you just fine. For others, the appearance of bias would be too much.)
10. Can I take a copy of the written fee agreement home with me to study? (There is no “standard” fee and no standard fee agreement. Do not assume that if you have seen one, you have seen them all.)

And the best question of all: Who else should be on my list of attorneys to consider? This is a great question because the names you see coming up time and time again are as close to a “sure bet” to be the right lawyer as you can get!

All good, competent, honest attorneys will freely share their information with you. These attorneys have as much (or more) work than they can handle. If they won’t give you any other names, then leave! It may be a huge warning sign that they are starving for business-?not a good sign.

Remember, don’t panic and impulsively choose a lawyer without carefully doing your homework. There is no subsitute for taking the time up front to ensure you get the right lawyer for your case.

The Importance of In-Depth Content For Your Legal Website

September 27th, 2011

A legal website can act as a 24/7 sales brochure for your firm. But the trick is creating a quality site and making sure people get to it. One of the strongest ways to encourage both is including in-depth, quality legal information.

By including interesting, genuinely useful information, you increase the chances that search engines place your website high for a variety of search terms.

How Does In-Depth, Extensive Writing Help My Site Performance?

As an attorney, you may be wanting rank high in frequently searched terms such as “Cleveland criminal attorney” or “Cleveland dui attorney.” However, you can also benefit when your site ranks highly for a large number of little-searched terms, as the visits to your site from these terms add up to large traffic numbers.

By including as much legal information as appropriate on your site, you can indeed pick up traffic from many different search terms. And if it seems overwhelming to include all that information on a few pages, break it up into different pages or incorporate ideas into a law firm blog.

Let’s say you handle DUI cases. Not only can you include information about the fact that you handle these cases, you can also provide extensive information about possible consequences (including ones that aren’t obvious). People want to know if they’ll be losing their chance at adoption, university financial aid, or the ability to drive again, for instance, and they’re searching online for those answers.

However, not only does this content draw those peculiar, unique searches, it also bolsters the chance that you will rank for high search volume terms like “DUI lawyer Cleveland.” That’s because you’re providing the kind of fresh and unique content search engines like to see in websites.

Furthermore, you can position yourself as a legal expert and a trusted source to site visitors, keeping their attention and encouraging them to call you and not your competitor.

Go Beyond the Sales Brochure

Whether you write the material yourself or are working with a copywriter, you’ll want to ensure the content on your site is accurate, in-depth, and is easy to scan for finicky web readers.

And of course, a strong design and SEO strategy can make that content work all the harder for you, making it part of a well-rounded website that achieves results. So when it comes to website writing, go beyond the minimal requirements, and you’ll be rewarded with new clients.

    The Many Benefits Of Being A Lawyer

    September 25th, 2011

    People of a certain generation tended to view the profession of law with a certain degree of awe and respect. Take the example of my father who was an avid fan of Perry Mason; he was fascinated by the idea that his daughter could one day become a lawyer one and unmask the criminals in the court of law. What is it about being a lawyer that attracts the best and the brightest talent?

    The Legal Profession Pushes You To Your Full Potential

    A common misperception towards lawyers in general, not just in the USA but also all over the world, is that younger lawyers are usually not to be trusted with complicated cases. We often tend to gravitate towards older lawyers because we see them as more experienced. People will typically start trusting a young lawyer as he starts earning some credibility from winning some cases. Thus a newbie in the legal profession may proceed a bit slow in the beginning of his career, but after a few success and wins, his career starts gathering momentum

    Great Earning Potential

    As a beginner in the world of law, you may need to work as an apprentice in a law firm for a few years, or you can also run your own private practice. Whatever may be the case, the remuneration you earn at this stage is not much.

    But do not get discouraged; to emerge as a successful lawyer you need time to grasp the law and get to know the inner workings of the law to help you solve the most complicated of cases. Once you have gained more experience and earned a solid reputation for winning cases, you can charge a much higher fee. Working as a corporate lawyer also earns a decent salary starting out at approximately $125000 a year.

    Earn Prestige As A Lawyer

    You can enter into the government service as a lawyer in three levels: local, state and federal. Among these three, the federal lawyers naturally earn more money and prestige.

    Contribute To Society By Bringing Criminals To Justice

    As long as society exists, there are bound to be crimes and criminals. The good thing about practicing as a lawyer is that you will never be out of work. Your law degree will always help you find work, or you could always be your own boss. It is also a profession that allows you to enrich your professional as well as personal experiences. Above all, as a lawyer, you have the capability to contribute a great deal to society, and perform great social service by bringing offenders to justice and helping the innocent find justice.

    Tips For Choosing The Best Accident Lawyer

    September 25th, 2011

    If you are looking to claim compensation after an accident then it is always advisable to seek legal advice from a qualified accident lawyer. Anyone who has been through an accident which caused serious injuries will know how traumatic it can be, which is why hiring an experienced lawyer will ensure you not only get the compensation you deserve but that you are also give time to rest and recover.

    Personal injury and accident claims are big business these days and as a result there are literally thousands of lawyers both nationally and locally who are looking to take on accident claims. The problem is not all law firms are the same and whilst some will take on every case that comes through the door, others will only accept claims for specific types of accident and personal injury. Therefore the first step for anyone looking to claim damages is to find the right lawyer for their needs.

    It is important not to leave it too long after the accident before you begin looking for an accident lawyer. The longer you leave it the harder it will be for your lawyer to collect the necessary evidence to prove negligence by the other party. Claims are also time sensitive and need to be made within a statutory time period.

    Any lawyer you hire to represent you needs to be experienced and qualified in their field. You need someone who has experience of dealing with your particular kind of injuries, is able to interpret medical and accident reports, deal with insurance companies and defense lawyers for the other side. It may also be advisable to hire someone who has trial experience should your claim go to court.

    Personal recommendations are always the best way to find good, reputable lawyers so ask around your family and friends, especially if you know someone has recently made a claim for personal injuries. Recommendations like this should give you confidence that a particular is worth approaching and the more recommendations you can get the better.

    The internet is another valuable resource when it comes to finding legal assistance. There are many legal directory websites which list lawyers by state or area and which can give plenty of information such as client testimonies, biographies of lawyers and further information on making a claim. Check out individual law firm websites too to get a better insight in to particular firms.

    If you fail to get any personal recommendations or do not have internet access then you can ask at your local bar association for a referral. The bar association offers a lawyer referral service which will put you in touch with a lawyer that they feel best suits your needs. You are under no obligation to hire them but you may have to pay a referral fee. Alternatively you can ask at your local courthouse for a list of approved lawyers in your local area.

    Top Ten Things To Look For In A Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury Attorney

    September 25th, 2011

    Being injured is no fun. Not knowing where to turn, who to trust, and what to do about your medical bills is frustrating.

    Most people will never need a malpractice lawyer. That’s good. Most people will never need a personal injury lawyer, and that’s good too. But there are folks who do get injured because of someone else’s fault, and they’re the ones who DO need an attorney.

    Maybe you know of a friend of a cousin who was related to someone who knew an attorney. You could call him to ask him questions about your accident. Maybe you could look in the Yellow Pages and call someone who has a big ad. Maybe you could walk into a storefront lawyer’s office, right off the street. Maybe you could call the 800 number on a billboard you saw. You could do all of these things and maybe you’d be ok. Then again, maybe not.

    The purpose of this article is to provide you, the consumer, with information about what you need to know BEFORE you ever step into a lawyer’s office. I know some lawyers who want to wait till the client gets into their office to explain to them their options. This way they can show off how brilliant they are- and maybe they are. But why not give the client information about how to choose an attorney, and let the client make their choice about who to use.

    But, how do you choose among the many lawyers who advertise for your attention? The answer is not an easy one. Remember, not every lawyer advertises. Of those that do, not all of them are trial lawyers. You must ask.

    So, here are the top ten most important things you need to look for in a medical malpractice or personal injury lawyer:

    1. Experience

    How many years has the lawyer been in practice? The greater experience, the greater likelihood this lawyer has seen cases like yours, and knows how to handle your case.

    2. What type of firm does the lawyer have?

    Is he part of a big law firm, or is he a solo practitioner? Just because the lawyer works in a big firm doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better for you. Likewise, just because an attorney is a solo practitioner doesn’t mean he’s not capable of successfully handling your case.

    There are many advantages to using a solo practitioner- you get individual, personalized attention; an attorney who knows everything about your case; an attorney who returns your calls promptly; and someone who doesn’t take on more cases than he can manage.

    With a large firm you might have multiple attorneys handling different aspects of your case; different attorneys appearing in Court for conferences; your phone calls may not be returned as quickly as you’d like- but at the same time a large firm might have more resources than a solo practitioner such as paralegals and associates.

    Ask your prospective lawyer whether he delegates his work to his junior people, or does he do it all himself? Does he return your calls, or does the junior lawyer call you instead? Does the paralegal do all the paperwork, or does a lawyer do it?

    3. Where is the lawyer’s office?

    This is important only for people who are solely concerned about convenience. Some lawyers have multiple offices. If you’re concerned about going to someone whose office is in the City, and you live in the Suburbs, keep in mind that most likely, you will not need to physically go to his office more than a few times. He should be readily available by phone or email.

    If travelling to an attorney’s office is still a concern, ask whether the lawyer can travel to your home. Most attorneys will accomodate a client, if they are physically unable to travel. However, if the client is simply reluctant to travel, then there is a very important reason to have the prospective client come to the lawyer’s office: (1) To see how the lawyer operates, and (2) So the lawyer can see how the client adjusts to being in an unfamiliar setting. This last part is vitally important to an attorney who evaluates you as a potential witness at trial.

    4. Do you email clients?

    Do you send regular updates by letter or email? If I have a quick question, can I email you instead of calling you on the phone?

    5. “When my case comes up for a deposition (a question and answer session with your lawyer and the lawyers for the people you have sued) will you be there with me, or will I have one of your junior associates?”

    This is very important. You’re hiring a lawyer. Some people hire a law firm and don’t care who works on their case. An injured victim SHOULD care, because they want to be treated with resepect and attention they deserve. In some firms, the lawyer you meet with will not be the one who appears at your deposition with you. In fact, depending on how busy the law firm is, it’s possible that the lawyer you meet with may not even try your case!

    That’s why you’ve got to ask: “Will you be there at my deposition?”

    6. “When my case comes up for trial, will you be there with me, or will I have one of your junior associates?”

    Again, this is a very important question. The lawyer you get to know at your first office visit may not be the lawyer who tries your case. You may only get to meet your trial lawyer a few months before your trial starts. I know many people who don’t like that approach to lawyering, and others simply don’t care. As an injured victim looking for a lawyer to represent their interests, I can only suggest that you should care.

    However, keep in mind that there are law firms in New York, and elsewhere, that have dedicated trial lawyers. Their job is ONLY to try cases. Their other partners or associates handle the other parts of your case. In some other firms, you get one attorney and he (or she) handles your case from start to finish. Find out from your prospective attorney which one you can expect.

    7. ASK THIS QUESTION TO EVERY ATTORNEY YOU SPEAK TO: How much is my case worth?

    Why? Because there are some attorneys who will claim, on your very first visit that your case is worth a ton of money- some even say “Millions!” Others are not so cavalier, and take a more cautious approach.

    If a lawyer tells you your case is worth Millions, ask him to put that in writing. Why? Because no lawyer can promise or guarantee any outcome to a client. Watch what happens when you ask that lawyer to put his ‘guarantee’ in writing. He’ll quickly backtrack and make some excuse for not putting it in writing. Be careful of an attorney who makes such promises without thoroughly knowing all the facts of your case, and without having reviewed your records.

    8. What are your success stories? What’s your record?

    It’s important to know how an attorney has done in the past on other types of cases. What results has he achieved recently?

    Obviously every case is different. But you still need to know whether he’s ever achieved large settlements or verdicts. If the biggest case he ever handled was small claims court, then maybe this attorney isn’t right for your type of case.

    9. Does he have a web site? Does he advertise?

    Does he have a presence on the internet? Why is this important? You want to know what type of material he has on his website. Is it a basic information card with bland material, or does he provide a reader with important information they need to know to educate them, BEFORE, they ever call him or walk into his office.

    10. Does the lawyer offer a prospective client free reports to educate them about their options BEFORE, they ever call?

    Ask if they have free reports about your type of case. Not some canned brochure that anyone can stamp their name on, but a real substantial report that discusses your type of case. Can the reports be obtained directly from the lawyers website, or by calling his office for a copy?

    Knowing this information will make you a better informed consumer.
    Hiring a lawyer is an important part of learning about your legal rights. Ask lots of questions and trust your instincts about any lawyer you speak to. Good luck.

    How Much Do Lawyers Really Earn?

    September 25th, 2011

    There are many reasons why people choose to pursue a career in law; to work in a stimulating work environment; to help other people that need the aid of a talented lawyer; to attain the prestige and social status that having a Juris Doctor can offer. But one thing that almost all lawyers will agree on…yet seldom admit to, is that one of the primary reasons many become lawyers is because of the potential financial rewards that a legal career can offer. The question then becomes…just how much do lawyers make? What areas of law are the most lucrative? Finally, how can you position myself to most aggressively attain those positions that will gain personal wealth?

    While there is no sure-fire way of guaranteeing that attaining a law degree will make you wealthy there are certain rules to keep in mind and certain areas of law to pursue that have a much greater chance of that becoming the end result than others. One of the rules is that private law firms always pay more than public sector jobs. A 2001 survey found that of those graduating from a top 20 law school, jobs in the public averaged $50,000 while private firm salaries were double that near $125,000.

    The next thing to keep in mind is that just like many Wall Street jobs, a substantial part of high paying lawyers make their income through a bonus structure. Bonuses are typically non-existent in public sector or judicial jobs while working in corporate law positions can offer bonuses, but typically not nearly as much as the private firms will offer. It is not unusual in a well-positioned private firm for the bonus to equal 100% or much more than the base salary.

    This potential upside carries risk of course…if the private firm does not bring in successful cases they may cut staff rapidly or even go out of business. The potential upside, however can be very lucrative and is why positions in select private firms can be extraordinarily competitive. Partners in a ‘top’ law firm can pull in $500,000 or even $1,000,000 or more. With the fact that private firms established as the most lucrative, what areas of law then are the best and have the highest salary and bonus potential.

    For a long time ‘personal injury’ was particularly lucrative because of the incredible amounts awarded in damages during an extended period. With the proliferation of law schools, the overall ‘lowering’ of standards of typical lawyer training and with changes in the legal system to put ‘caps’ in place for certain types of injuries and awards, this is no longer always the case.

    These days some of the best areas to practice law take into consideration ‘dual expertise’ or are ‘niche categories’. For example, Pharmaceutical law, intellectual property/patent law, corporate law, commercial real estate, tax, regulatory compliance and complex civil and commercial litigation. With these keep in mind working in large national firms that are more likely to take on ‘class action’ or ‘big target’ cases typically have more upside than smaller local firms.

    Other important factors that contribute to earnings as an attorney include years of experience, ability to bring in business, billable hours, age, gender, travel requirements/ability, law school ranking and GPA. The trend in Legal salaries, especially for first and second year graduates seems to be towards two distinct ‘ranges. These are clearly defined by the ranking and caliber of law school. In recent data gathered by the Association of Legal Career Professionals, the two ranges for first year grads were between $45-$55k and between $135-$145,000.

    The lower of these was for ‘average’ public sector and judicial positions and the higher for top law firms in national private firms. This shows the disparity…and importance of attending a top tier law school and for targeting private national firms if income is a primary objective for pursuing a legal education.
