Here are some critical traits of a successful personal injury attorney:
Timeliness
Considering lawsuits, like all legal matters, have time frames in which they must be set into motion and deadlines to keep the matter from going on forever, prompt response times are essential. Certainly, many factors come into play regarding the passing of time on a personal injury suit.
Like the big firms, attorneys at Mike Law have many clients and various cases. Still, they always take a personal approach and consult any potential client by providing all possible options. With their experience in personal injury matters and with the help of an in-office nurse, Mike Law understands the timing component of a personal injury lawsuit. There are many important factors to consider, including time spent in physical therapy and impairment percentage, that play into the ultimate decision of whether to go forward with a lawsuit and, if so, what the result is.
Personal Injury Know-How
Like any job industry, those working in the legal field often specialize in certain areas of the law. While it may make sense to speak with or hire a specialized attorney in some cases, the real key is that the firm knows what they're doing regarding the relevant legal matter. The firm may handle multiple areas and be very successful in each. Just because a firm heavily advertises its expertise in a specific legal topic doesn't necessarily mean they're the best at what they claim to do.
The attorneys at Mike Law Offices represent clients in employment, real estate, criminal, DWI, and personal injury cases, among others. Still, they have deeply rooted experience in each of those aspects of the legal world. Often, it's that well-rounded type of practice that helps attorneys approach individual scenarios creatively to assist their clients best. It helps to see things from many different points of view, especially if the case goes before a jury. Plus, it helps to have a nurse in the office who can help see personal injury matters from a medical perspective.
Experience
As previously mentioned, experience pursuing and litigating personal injury cases is a core component to consider when seeking a personal injury attorney. You wouldn't hire an accountant to perform your heart surgery! Always ask a potential attorney what sort of cases they have handled in the past and what kind of results they've gotten.

This includes workplace injuries, dog bites, slips and falls, and other not-so-fun scenarios.
