How do I choose a personal injury lawyer? That’s a great question. I think there are resources now that are so much better than when I started practicing law 27 years ago, and you shouldn’t necessarily hire a lawyer because they advertise on TV or you see a billboard. You should talk to your friends. You should go online. And the things you should look for or the questions you should ask, if you knew enough to ask them, are are you a certified trial lawyer? How often do you get in the courtroom? What types of cases have you handled over the years and what kind of success ratio have you had?

The thing I would encourage people to look for, which might be found more in your gut than in your mind, is how comfortable are you with that person and what kind of commitments are they making to you in terms of staying in contact with you, being available to answer questions for you, and I guess more an overall feeling of how much do they really care about your situation and your case. So that’s what I’d look for.

Minneapolis personal injury lawyer Jim Carey discusses the various things a person should consider when choosing an attorney.
