So how do you choose a Mesothelioma Lawyer?

We know it can be a trying time, our suggestion is to choose one you feel comfortable with. Ask questions, make sure they are the type of firm that you want to work with.

Asbestos or mesothelioma cases are a legal specialty, you need to make sure that the firm you are interviewing has the experience needed to represent you well, and also a good winning percentage. Be wary of any firm that guarantees a win, that is an impossible promise.

For instance here are some questions you could ask:

  • How long has your firm been handling asbestos/mesothelioma cases?
  • How many asbestos / mesothelioma cases do you handle currently?
  • How many asbestos / mesothelioma cases have you handled in the past?
  • Will you handle my case or will you refer my case to another law firm?
  • If you are likely to refer my case elsewhere, what is the name of the law firm(s) that you might send my case to?
  • How many cases like mine has your law firm actually taken to trial?
  • What kind of verdicts have you obtained in such cases?
  • Are these verdicts your law firm personally obtained?
  • If another law firm obtained these results, what is the name of that firm?
  • If you take a case to trial, will an attorney from your law firm actually be responsible for representing me at trial,
  • or will you hire an attorney from outside your firm to handle the trial?
  • In the event an appeal is necessary in my case, do you have lawyers at your firm who dedicate much of their time to appellate and legal issues work? What is your law firm’s track record for successfully handling appeals?
