After an injury, who you choose to represent your interests may be one of the most important decisions you make. Unfortunately, even if you've done your due diligence and carefully researched several candidates, it's possible to make a mistake and hire a lawyer who doesn’t provide the level of service your case deserves.

Here are a few signs you may have hired the wrong personal injury attorney for your case:

  • No Chemistry: Many injury victims try to ignore their personal feelings and choose a lawyer based on their credentials and history. However, this is often a mistake. Personal injury cases are usually long and complex, requiring you to share extremely personal information with your attorney over a period of months or even years. In light of this, it's important to have someone with whom you can build a strong working relationship.
  • lawyerLaziness & Disorganization: Did your lawyer misplace your file or, even worse, miss a deadline? While every attorney had to make their way through law school, this doesn't mean they're all well organized or hardworking. If your lawyer is hard to reach, puts you off, or constantly loses paperwork and forgets details, it may be time to take your case somewhere else.
  • Frequent Mistakes: Incompetent lawyers will often make mistakes, leaving out important facts and neglecting the most difficult part of the case. And unfortunately, most clients don't have the legal training to know when errors are being made and are often unaware they could have achieved a better outcome with more effective legal representation. In general, go with your instincts. If you feel as though your attorney is not providing high-quality service, feel free to seek a second opinion elsewhere.
