NY Medical Malpractice-How To Find an Attorney

It's holiday time. You're sitting around the table listening to family members discuss the tragedy that has befallen on someone close to you.

You hear these questions:

"How did this happen?"
"Why did this happen?"
"Why didn't the doctor speak to us after it happened?"
"What if..."
"Nobody is telling us what's happening."
"What's going to happen to him?"
"Who can watch the kids, while the adults go to the hospital and keep a constant vigil?"

Someone pipes up and says "We should speak to a lawyer."
Someone else says "Who? We don't know any lawyers."

Where do you start to look for a lawyer when you have questions?
What questions do you need to ask a lawyer to determine if you might have a valid case?

The answers to these questions can be found; the key is knowing where to look.

A consumer typically would open their yellow pages to look for a plumber; but an attorney? Some would.
Maybe they'd jot down a phone number they saw on daytime TV from a lawyer saying "INJURED? Call me."
Maybe they'd remember a catchy jingle they heard on the radio about some lawyer.

If this is how you want to start your search, ask yourself this important question:
How do those ads help you distiguish one lawyer from another?
How can you tell whether those lawyers are right for you?
The answer is that you can't.

You need to look for an attorney who provides you with free books; free reports; free video tips and explains the legal process. You need this information BEFORE you ever make an appointment and walk into an attorney's office. This way, you'll know what information you need to know before ever speaking to an attorney.
