If you've experienced an injury as a result of someone else's negligence, then you may be looking for a lawyer to represent you. There are many different types of legal professionals out there, but how do you know which is the best lawyer to support you during this difficult time? While you are searching, make sure to find out if the attorney has the following qualities:
Experienced: While there is no set number of years that attorneys need to be in practice before they are qualified to handle cases, the more experience an attorney has, the better it will be for you. If you find out that a lawyer is fresh out of law school, then you should probably keep moving. This is especially true if your case is more complicated.

Successful: When speaking to an attorney that you are thinking about hiring, Make sure to ask about an attorney's past victories. If they don't have any to speak of, then you may not want to trust them with your case either. Success often goes hand-in-hand with experience, as those who have been in practice for a number of years have cultivated their skills and handled a number of different kinds of cases. This will have better prepared them for effectively handling your case as well.

Communicative: As you have questions and concerns about your case, you want to make sure that the attorney you hire will be available to return your calls. A good lawyer will inform you of everything that is happening throughout the entire process, so that you can rest assured that your case is being dealt with properly.
Attorney Vasquez has committed to staying in the office until he has returned every phone call. Client communication is his primary goal as an attorney, because he believes that you should be comfortable during every step of the process.
Persevering: If a case cannot be settled with an insurance company or a third party, then there may be need for a lawyer to take a case to trial. A good lawyer should not be afraid to do this, because the client deserves to have every effort made on their behalf.

Attentive: The lawyer that you choose should meet with you personally to discuss your case. Don't settle for a firm that sends you to a paralegal or secretary to talk about your situation. You should find a firm that will send a qualified attorney to talk about your options.

Knowledgeable: Not all lawyers are experienced in handling every area of law. Make sure that your lawyer is knowledgeable about the area of law that your case falls under. Be especially careful when hiring an attorney for medical malpractice or employment law. These are specialized areas and you should seek a lawyer who specializes in your case.
