How To Choose Your Lawyer

Most people who come to the Heimberg Law Group come because they want to understand what happened. Often no one will explain, and sometimes the medical community or the corporation refuses to speak to you at all.

However the injury was caused, your life, and your family’s life, has changed dramatically. On top of dealing with a life-changing injury or a death, you’re probably overwhelmed with uncertainty about if the injury or death should have happened and if you really should pursue legal action.

Choosing a lawyer to represent you in this matter will be one of the most important decisions you ever make. The results will mean answers to your questions and the best possible chance of a successful verdict or settlement.

Money can’t change injuries, but it can improve your quality of life and the ability to afford the therapy, adaptable equipment, medical care and assistance that you or your loved one might need. So choose carefully.

There are lots of lawyers, many of whom advertise in ads on the back of buses and on TV, boasting about how good they are. How do you know who is the best? Ask questions. It sounds simple, but many people do not do their homework.

Here are a few questions you might want to ask any attorney you are considering entrusting with your case:

What are the law firm's achievements?
How much experience does it have in cases like yours?
Have the firm’s attorneys been honored by other attorneys?
Are they asked to speak and to participate as experts in their field?
Have they obtained sizeable verdicts or settlements?
How often many cases like yours have they taken to trial and what were those results?
Did they go to top schools?
Have they worked on high-profile cases?

The Heimberg Law Group is willing to match its credentials against anyone’s.
