How do I find the best Newfoundland and Labrador personal injury lawyer for my accident case?


Most accident victims really don't know where to turn to when looking for a Newfoundland and Labrador accident lawyer. In some areas there are many pages of Yellow Page ads for lawyers. Here are some tips on finding the right car accident lawyer for your motor vehicle injury in St. John's or elsewhere.

Step One: Educate yourself. In the old days, the law was pretty much a closely guarded secret. Use the internet to get a basic understanding about your legal problem, including accident cases, before even picking up the phone. The purpose is simply to move you along the path of knowledge so that you can make an informed decision about what lawyer to hire. Remember that if a law firm is listed at one of those mega lawyer directory websites, all it took was a checkbook to get there.

Step Two: Start to gather names of potential lawyers. Remember you are still in the information-gathering process. Contact them and ask each one for this set of information to be mailed to you:

1. Are you a nationally recognized lawyer.
2. Show me examples of sample judgments and settlements.
3. Show me articles you have written for legal publications.
4. Show me a list of your public speeches to lawyers about your practice area.
5. Send me a copy of any book, DVD or audio CD that your firm has produced.
6. Send me a sample fee agreement and explain how fees and costs are calculated.

Then if you really want to be thorough, interview the most promising candidates. This process should result in a satisfied client and a personal injury lawyer proud to have helped.
