How to Select the Best Attorney

Step 1: Reach out to multiple Scottsdale attorneys to schedule a free consultation. You will want to meet with a few attorneys to see who is the best fit for you and for your case.

Step 2: The consultation. Look at the consultation with each lawyer as an interview. Be prepared with questions to ask. You’re interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing you. Start off by providing the details of your case and getting their opinion on the viability of your case as well as how they foresee the case unfolding. You will want to ask them if they’ve worked on a similar case and the results they achieved. You’ll also want to ask if they’re prepared to litigate your case. Many claims are settled without litigation; however, there is a chance your case will go to trial which is why you should always be prepared.

 Make sure you understand the attorney’s communication process and what to expect if you choose them as your attorney. You should feel entirely comfortable with the attorney during the initial consultation. Some cases can take years to settle or finalize, so you need to be confident in the attorney handling your matter.

 Step 3: The agreement. Following the initial consultation, most attorneys will send you a fee agreement to review. Make sure you thoroughly read and understand the agreement, including the attorney’s fees. When comparing different attorneys, a lower fee is now always the best option for you and your case. Additionally, make sure to note what may occur if you decide to switch attorneys during your case. Many attorneys will have a clause in the agreement allowing them to place a lien if you switch attorneys. This is another reason why carefully selecting your attorney from the start is wise.

Step 4: Hire the Scottsdale attorney you feel the most comfortable with and who you believe will fight the hardest for you.

Recommendations While You Wait to Connect to an Attorney 

  • If you have not already seen a doctor since your injury, setting up an appointment should be a priority. Even mild injuries should be treated. Medical costs can be recovered in your settlement so do not wait to get the proper treatment. 
  • Don’t post anything on social media regarding your injury or the circumstances surrounding it.
  • Don’t talk to the other driver’s insurance representative. If they call you, immediately say you have an attorney handling your case and they will be in communication. Then hang up as everything you say is being recorded on a private line. 
  • Don’t try to file the case on your own. Attorneys can recover significantly more than individuals who represent themselves. Insurance companies work every day to figure out how to give the least amount and discredit your claim. Why not team up with an attorney who works even harder to get the maximum settlement for their clients?
  • Organize all the evidence you have from the accident and get prepared for your meeting by creating a series of questions to ask the attorney. 
  • Prioritize hiring the right attorney for you so you can file your claim as soon as possible.
