Personal Injury counsel is an important selection if you’re in an accident and need compensation for lost work, medical bills, pain and suffering. The best way to find a competent Personal Injury Lawyer in your area is to ask around. Friends and family will be glad to offer their opinions, whether good or bad, on their experience or experiences they have heard about.
After you get advice from friends and family it’s time to check them out online. There are a few lawyer review and ratings sites but the ones I recommend are avvo and martindale.
Avvo was created a few years ago by a couple of attorneys. They were met with some legal battles but quickly overcame them and now provide one of the best legal referral sites on the internet.
martindale is probably the oldest lawyer referral site. They are more of a directory of lawyers that you can browse and are peer reviewed. If another lawyer likes them then you can almost be assured that they are good.
There are a few other review and rating sites out there but they dont have any stipulations about who is reviewing the attorney. That means that other attorneys can leave negative reviews and ratings to bolster themselves or belittle their competition. It’s a dog eat dog world out there, so stick with the two sites mentioned and you will be fine.
