How to choose a medical malpractice attorney?

You have many choices. "Who is the best?" "Who has more experience?" "Who can make more money for your case?" "How do I know I can trust him?" "What does it cost to hire a lawyer to try?"

These are all legitimate questions, and I respond to everyone here:

"Who is the best?"

In New York there is no concrete answer to this question. There are a lot of good lawyers. However, lawyers in New York was not allowed, "Come, tell me whyI'm the best ... "The best thing about it? What kind of cases? In what circumstances and what set of facts? Which court? When is it?" There are too many variables and it is impossible to tell everybody is, "I am the best me. "However, if a lawyer said he probably would have trouble with the Ethics Commission can regulate what lawyers. Yes, yes, there is an ethics committee that controls what can lawyers in New York in their marketing messages to say.

"Who has themore experience? "

It 's easy to find, just ask. "How long have you been handling medical malpractice cases and trying here in New York?" Caution: Just because a lawyer has otherwise been in practice more than anyone else, does not necessarily mean they are automatically "better" than a lawyer who has less time in practice.

"Who can make more money for your case?"

The answer to this question is impossible to answer. II know lawyers in a firm of law firm in New York City, the Grand Jury Prize and the settlements in private and comment quietly boast that they got more money for a particular case. They were supposed to do? Who knows? Is there a way to really know? No. Is there a way to get the consumer to an educated and intelligent response to this question? Why not?

Each case is different. Each case has its ups and downs only. Each case is different, before a court ordered be assessed differently. Every defender and their insurance company has its own standards. When a lawyer says you can get "X" dollars in your case, or they can get more money than any other lawyer, you ask, in writing. It will never happen, because no lawyer, no matter how good or experienced, can ever guarantee a result.

"Trust"

This is clearly the most difficult to judge what. Make a decision on> Lawyer if you walk into his office. Since its creation by the lawyer, you are constantly thinking about how this law can help solve the problem. There is no central directory where you can check attorney trustworthy, which advocates. Satisfied customers are only one way, the quality of a company and lawyers who work to assess. However, do not go far to ask for a list of satisfied and dissatisfied. You can check at any timecomplaint with the committee to see if there are any disciplinary action against that attorney. But this only proves a negative. If the lawyer has never had a complaint or discipline, it just means that there has never been a problem. This does not mean that the trust lawyer you deserve.

The best way to answer the question is to talk with you for the lawyer to meet with the lawyer and judge for themselves. Of course you can not always accurateTo say that talking and meeting with a lawyer. However, you will feel much better, you have to do compared to never met with the prosecutor.

"What is the cost of hiring an experienced New York lawyer study?"

Nothing, at least not in advance.

"What does that mean?" This means that an experienced attorney, without paying a penny out of pocket when they start to take you. If it is a valid case and you start an action, whichLawyer and his law firm will pay all expenses in order to pursue his case until the end. Only if you succeed, and you get the money as a result of your action, his attorney will receive a percentage of what you win. This is commonly known as a success fee. The share of lawyer is up to you balanced. If you are not successful with your lawyer you do not receive money and spent a considerable amount of money to pursue a case without everalways reimbursed. Therefore, the most experienced lawyers are very selective about which cases to accept. A lawyer is usually just a case if it considers it reasonably, you have a valid case (and must confirm that you are with a medical expert). Otherwise it will never be recovered, the money paid to pursue your case or receive any attorney fees for the hundreds and thousands of hours of time he is in, should pursue your case to a conclusion.

Becoming a conscious consumeron who to choose as your attorney and learn how events like your job, you can intelligently decide which lawyer is right for me.
