3 Traits to Look for When Choosing a California Personal Injury Attorney

Parker we provide exceptional services to our clients but we know that any law firm can claim the same without having to back it up. Read on to find out what three traits you should be searching for. Then contact our offices at 800-333-0000 to set up a free legal consultation.

1. You need a personal injury attorney who is attentive

No matter what type of case you have, the truth is that you have suffered some type of injury or you would not be filing a personal injury lawsuit. It can be difficult enough to go through this process and the last thing you want is an attorney who does not seem to listen to you. Choose a personal injury attorney who is attentive.

You may wonder – how do I know an attorney is attentive before I have even worked with them? When you call or email to set up an interview, note if you feel that they are really listening to you or if they make you wait weeks to see them. Do they make you feel as though they care about your case or do they act like they are doing you a favor?

2. Choose an honest attorney

Some personal injury attorneys will tell you whatever you want to hear to get your business. While it may be nice to hear that they think you have a chance at $5 million in damages, if this is not accurate then it is not useful to you. Choose an attorney who will give you an honest assessment of where your case stands and what your options are.

The truth is that no victory is certain. Every case has both strengths and weaknesses. You want an attorney who will tell you honestly what those strengths and weaknesses are.

3. Attention to detail is a huge asset

Finally, look for an attorney who has a strong attention to detail. They should be able to remember your case, they should know where your case is, and they should remember any issues that have arisen. If you have a bus accident case, you do not want an attorney who will repeatedly forget and discuss it as a car accident case.

These are just three things to look for. The bottom line is that you want an attorney you feel comfortable with and whom you trust to provide you the best possible service. You will find that in The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker. We welcome you to contact us now at 800-333-0000 to request your free legal consultation.
