Learn more about the questions you should ask during your free consultation and how the answers can help you choose an attorney to represent you.

Important Questions You Should Ask Your Attorney

When meeting with an attorney who may potentially represent your case, it is critical that you ask certain questions to get a full picture of the person’s capabilities and past experience. You want to ensure that the lawyer is the right person to represent you.

Some important questions we recommend asking at a free consultation include:

Do You Have Experience Working on Cases Like Mine?

It is critical to hire an attorney who has experience working with cases like yours. For example, if you were injured in a car crash, you should not hire a lawyer whose primary experience is dealing with divorce cases. Every facet of law has its own requirements, processes and precedents that your lawyer should be familiar with.

Do You Have the Resources to Win My Case?

It is important to hire a law firm that has access to all the resources you need to build a strong case against the at-fault party. For example, our attorneys have access to industry experts such as accident reconstruction experts who can rebuild a model of the scene of the accident to prove how the other party caused your damages.

Do You Have Experience Going to Trial?

Although most car crash cases are settled before going to trial, sometimes going to court may be necessary when you are not satisfied with a settlement offer or the insurance company denies your claim. That is why you want an attorney who is ready to go to court.

Many law firms do not bother preparing cases for trial. The attorneys at Lynch Law Firm, PC are always prepared to go to trial. Our goal is to recover maximum compensation.

How Much Will It Cost Me?

This is a common question which should be discussed during your free consultation. Make sure you understand the fees associated with your case and when they will need to be paid. Other firms may require an upfront payment or charge you hourly for work performed. However, Lynch Law Firm, PC has a contingency fee program, which means you pay nothing up front and you only pay us if we win compensation for you.

Other Questions Attorneys are Often Asked

There are several other questions most injury victims have that are difficult to answer without knowing all the details of your situation. Perhaps the most common of these questions is, “How much compensation can I recover?”

Your lawyer will need to do a thorough investigation to determine the cost of your damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and/or property damage.

Another popular question that injury victims may have is, “How long will it take to resolve my case?”

The answer depends on the situation. Some cases can be resolved within a matter of weeks, while other more complex cases may take several months or more to resolve.
