Finding a good trial PI attorney

I always tell people who are looking for a good attorney to ask a few of their friends to reccomend some attorneys. Ask around and do some research. Attorneys who are competent are willing to meet with you and discuss their experience with you. If you have a specific type of problem, such a medical malpractice case, then I would reccomend that you find attorneys who focus on that area.

Don't always think that big is better. Some of the best lawyers in our state are in small firms. Without going on too long...Shop around and make sure that you are comfortable with your attorney, because you will be working with him or her for several months at least.
