(ThyBlackMan.com) Most attorneys will offer free consultation services to discuss your situation and offer an opportunity for you to ask some fundamental questions. This meeting will go a long way in helping you to decide whether or not you will need to proceed with the lawyer. Once you have made a decision to hire them, you can get into a detailed discussion of your injury case. It is during this time when you will need to ask the following questions:
Have You Handled Cases Of This Nature Before?
This is certainly one of the most crucial questions to ask. A lawyer with the right knowledge and background in cases of personal injury can save you both time and money while offering the results you desire. Even when their answer to this question is “Yes,” make sure you ask follow-up questions about similar cases such as whether or not they went to trial and what the outcome was to ascertain the degree of their competence.

Have They Ever Been Sanctioned Or Accused Of Misconduct?
It is within your right as a client to ascertain whether or not the 
attorney has formally been accused of misconduct. While you may be in a position to find the details online, you should still make an effort of asking the attorney. You deserve an explanation of any allegation and ethical violations concerning the lawyer.
Who Will Be Working?
The attorney you choose to work with will certainly work in a law firm with paralegals and junior associates. Find out who will be in charge of your case. Although they may save you money by giving some tasks to employees who charge less per hour, your attorney should be in a position to take care of all key aspects of your injury case.
What Are The Fees And Expenses?
When you are discussing with your lawyer about your accident and injury case, you need to know upfront what criteria they use to charge for representation. An attorney may charge a fixed amount, an hourly rate, or a contingency fee. Whatever the criterion they use, make sure you are comfortable with it. Also, do not forget to discuss attorney expenses which include small items such as photocopying to big-ticket aspects such as an expert witness. While the lawyer may not be in a position to give a precise quote, you should at least get a rough picture of what the price tag could be.
What Are The Likely Results?
It is fair to ask your lawyer whether your case has a good chance of winning. With this question, you are searching for an honest answer and not the “right” answer. For instance, if your case is a tough one, you’ll want to know in advance, so you can be psychologically prepared for what is coming.
It is imperative to remember that the above questions are bare essentials. You’ll definitely think of other questions depending on the circumstances and facts of your case. The attorney should be in a position to respond to these questions to your utmost satisfaction.
