When you’re searching for a personal injury attorney in California, you have a lot of options. As you browse through the options, consider these ten questions. The answers you get will lead you in the right direction.
- Does the firm have experience in personal injury cases?
If you’ve never hired an attorney before then you may not realize that not all attorneys handle every type of case. You’re looking specifically for a firm that’s handled hundreds of personal injury cases. You don’t want them learning the ropes on your case.
- How does the firm handle customer service?
It’s unlikely that your case will be the only case a firm is handling at a given time. However, they should have the staff to make you feel as though you’re the only person they’re working with. If you have questions, they should answer them.
- How many years of experience do they have?
Not only is it important that the personal injury attorney you choose has experience, but they should have a wealth of experience. At Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas, we’ve been working exclusively in personal injury cases since 1987. When you want experience, you want to work with us.
- Will they take your case to court?
Some personal injury attorneys are in it for one thing and one thing only: a settlement as soon as possible. That may be in line with what you’re looking for but you should always choose an attorney who’s willing to go to court if necessary. We are experienced in both getting quick settlements and full jury trials.
- How will they get paid?
You’ll find plenty of personal injury attorneys that require you to pay upfront retainers that can go up into the thousands of dollars. They may require you to pay all filing fees and court fees ahead of time. If you can’t afford to hire expert witnesses then you may not get them. That’s not the case with Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas. We work on contingency, which means we handle 100% of the costs and only get paid if you do. Our fees come directly from your settlement or judgement.
- Can they back up their claims?
Most any attorney will tell you that they’ve done great work and will fight for your rights. But do you have proof of that? When you choose Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas, you can browse our testimonials, see the awards we’ve won, and gather a wealth of information on the background of our firm.
- Who exactly will you be working with?
Some firms will put you off on new employees or associates. When you choose us, you can count on a personal consultation with Fernando D. Vargas himself. Your case is handled with the seriousness it deserves.
- What else can they do for you?
If you have a special accommodation, then you should be sure to choose a firm that can help with that. For example, we are a bilingual firm that can help both English and Spanish speaking clients.
