How do I pick the right law firm to represent me in an injury claim?

Choosing the right law firm to represent you in an injury claim is an important decision, as the right lawyer can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a law firm:

1. Specialization: It is important to find a law firm that has experience handling cases similar to yours. For example, Alvarez Gower Injury Law focuses solely on injury law and as such, we do not spend any time trying to understand issues that are not directly beneficial to injured clients.

2. Reputation: Look for a law firm with a good reputation in the community and among its peers. You can ask for referrals from friends, family, and other professionals, or check online reviews and ratings.

3. Communication: You should feel comfortable communicating with your lawyer and feel confident that they are keeping you informed about the progress of your case.  You should be able to communicate with your lawyer as opposed to a non-lawyer and should be speaking to a lawyer before signing a contract with a law firm.

4. Fees: Be sure to understand the fees that the law firm will charge for their services, as well as how they will be calculated.  Contingency fee contracts are the norm in personal injury cases and your lawyer typically fronts the costs associated with investigating and prosecuting your case until the case resolves.

5. Comfort level: It is important to feel comfortable with your lawyer and have confidence in their ability to represent you effectively. Trust your instincts and choose a lawyer that you feel comfortable working with.
