Finding the best personal injury attorney for your specific needs is critical to the outcome of your case. When you are in the process of interviewing, you should base your decision on these five critical points:

Open communication & honest communication

A good lawyer will educate you on the best route to take following your personal injury claim. At our law firm, if we meet with you and truly do not think you have a legitimate case, we will tell you up-front. We won’t sign you up, waste your time, and come back to you three months later to tell you there is nothing we can do (most of the time, if we have to drop a case, it isn’t because we didn’t investigate thoroughly at the beginning; it’s because new information has come to light that deems your legitimate case unwinnable.)

A good lawyer will not promise you “millions” on the spot. That is both reckless and, in most cases, nearly impossible to calculate based on one consultation. What they should promise you is that, if they believe you have a case, that they will work it up in a way that will provide you with maximum compensation. A great attorney will always under-promise and over-deliver. A bad attorney will do the exact opposite.

In any event, you should leave your initial consultation feeling confident that they know how to build your case, and that they will follow through with the promises made on your injury claim.

 

Provide references & have online reviews

Check out their online reviews on platforms such as Google, Yelp! and Facebook. If they maintain positive reviews on each platform, this is a good sign. You can also ask for personal referrals, and if you’re feeling extra cautious, conduct a Google search using the attorney’s full name to discover any negative feedback from previous clients.

Another clever way to review your attorney and/or law firm is by searching for their information on the State Bar of Nevada’s website. You’d be surprised how much information can be found by doing these things.

 

Good housekeeping practices

The last thing you want is to walk into an attorney’s office with case files piled up on the floor. That indicates that either a). They are overwhelmed with clients and your case won’t receive as much attention as it should, or b). they are unorganized–and your case won’t receive as much attention as it should. In addition, the receptionist and any paralegals you meet should be properly dressed and polite at all times.

 

Experience counts

This goes without saying. Many attorneys like to get their hands wet in various types of law. Would you rather sign with an attorney who “dabbles” in personal injury every now and then, or an attorney who dedicates 100% of their time to personal injury law?

At Brian Boyer Injury & Car Accident Lawyer Las Vegas, we check all of the above boxes, and we dedicate 100% of our time to personal injury law. It’s what we do best, and we’re dang good at it. Just ask our hundreds of satisfied clients!

If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident, please do not hesitate to give Attorney, Brian Boyer a call. Day or night, it doesn’t matter. Why? Because our clients always come first.
