After an accident, choosing the right personal injury lawyer is one of the most important decisions you can make. The attorney you hire won’t just handle paperwork—they’ll directly influence the outcome of your case and how smoothly the legal process goes. At Lipeles Law Group, we believe the best clients are informed clients. Knowing what to ask before hiring an attorney gives you clarity and confidence from day one.
1. Do you have experience with cases like mine?
Not every personal injury case is the same. From car accidents to dog bites or serious workplace injuries, each situation requires a different legal strategy. Asking if a lawyer has direct experience with cases like yours—and successful outcomes—can help you make a confident choice. Some firms may even give you a breakdown of past results in similar situations.
Also, be cautious about any legal documents you may have already signed. If you’ve signed something after your accident, it’s critical to understand your legal options now.
2. How do you charge?
Most personal injury firms, including ours, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay unless we win. However, don’t assume this is true for every firm. Always ask for a clear explanation of how fees work, when they apply, and if there are any additional costs.
Here’s what “no fees until we win” really means. Understanding this ensures there are no financial surprises down the line.
3. What’s your strategy for my case?
A good lawyer doesn’t give one-size-fits-all answers. They listen, analyze your unique situation, and develop a strategy tailored to your case. You should feel confident that your attorney has a clear plan—not just for filing, but for negotiating or going to trial if needed.
At Lipeles Law Group, we’re here to advocate for you—not just in court, but through every step of the legal journey. We encourage all prospective clients to ask questions and expect transparency. Your recovery matters. Your case matters. And so does your choice of representation.
