Specialization
You wouldn’t want an attorney who specializes in divorce, will, and others to handle your case. You would want a personal injury attorney, and the best one. A good outcome can only be assured when a specialist is looking into your case. Do not risk the quality of representation.
Disciplined
Before hiring an attorney, you can consider checking up with an attorney disciplinary agency in your state or local bar association to confirm if your desired attorney is a member in good standing of their state bar. Most attorneys are licensed in one state only; some are licensed in many. You can easily find information on the attorney online or bar association sites to confirm if they have ever been disciplined.
