Do You Need Legal Representation?

Tips for Hiring a Wrongful Death Lawyer

There are a few things you should look for before you hire an attorney to represent your case. Below are a few questions to get you started:

What kind of clients do you typically represent? You need to know if you're contacting the right kind of firm (size, experience, etc.) to manage your case.
What kind of experience do you have? Many firms should be able to provide you with client reviews and testimonials.
How much does it cost for your services? Lawyer fees are an obvious concern. In tort law, most firms charge on a contingency basis (services are free and a percentage of any victory is awarded to the client). If we don't win, you don't pay.
