when i grew up in brooklyn, no-one in my familyhad ever spoken to a lawyer. neither of my grandparents had ever had contact with a lawyer,either. lawyers seemed to be from another planet. now, in what seems like an instant, i findmyself a personal injury lawyer in sacramento and would like to offer some guidance if you’reever in a situation where you’ve had an accident and need to find someone to workwith. first, look them up in social directories.yelp and google plus are good places to start. see if the lawyer is well liked on facebook.these sites may not be the be all and end all, but they’re places people just likeyou express their real opinions.
then, take a look at avvo. www.avvo.com isa site where other lawyers in the community, as well as past clients, rate lawyers theyknow and have dealt with. now you have a good starting point. maybeyou found 3 or 4 lawyers that look like good possibilities. what next? go to their website. read the biographiesof the lawyers. do you feel some connection to them? look for the verdicts and settlements section.if they haven’t had a good record of verdicts and settlements, maybe you’re looking ata rookie’s site, or maybe the site of an
attorney who is really not so good. whileat their website look to see if they have a testimonials section from past clients.what do those clients say? now you’re narrowing the choice down further. call and make an appointment with the lawyeryou feel is best attuned to you. make an appointment, it’s always free, and talk to the lawyerover a cup of coffee. is he or she concerned with you? do you feelthis lawyer is someone you can communicate well with? if not, don’t hesitate ..go tothe next name on your short list. i’m ed smith, a sacramento personal injurylawyer and i hope you give me a chance to talk to you about your case.
