If you would like a free legal consultation with an experienced professional in the area, contact The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker at 800-333-0000 to set it up.
Do Not Pay Out of Pocket
The top mistake that people make is to pay out of pocket. This not only has a huge impact on your finances but says something about the likelihood of your case turning out the way you want it to. The truth is that most personal injury attorneys – including The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker – take cases on a contingency basis. This means we cover the expenses of building the case and taking it to trial. We are only paid when we win your case. If we do not win it, then we are not paid.
If an attorney insists on upfront payment for a personal injury case, it is most likely because they do not expect to win the case.
Do Not Neglect to Do Your Own Research
The internet makes some things better and some things worse. It should make your search for the right attorney easier in a number of ways, including the fact that you can easily research any attorney you are considering. Look to see if they have experience with the specific type of case you are dealing with, if they are in good standing with the California Bar, and what their past clients and colleagues have to say about them.
Do Not Be Afraid to Ask Questions
Once you get into a meeting with an attorney, they might try to do all the talking. Their job in this instance is let you know about their background and what they plan to do with your case. They should also give you a chance to ask questions. If they do not do so, then this is a bad sign. If they do not want to give answers to your questions, then this is a bad sign.
