Finding The Right Virginia Personal Injury Attorney For Your Case

(Part Two in a series) Start to Gather Names of Virgninia Personal Injury Attorneys. Here are your sources of information. Remember, you are still in the information-gathering process. 1. Think about your problem. What have you learned about your type of case? Now, can you summarize your problem in 20 words or less? "I was in a car accident," "I was hit by a car as a pedestrian," A box fell on my head at a store."

Do you personally know any lawyers in your area? They will be a good source of names. Even if your legal need is in another state, ask the lawyer you know first. He or she will probably be able to either refer you to a set of names in the other state or give you the name of someone who can.

Do you know anyone who has used a lawyer? At least then, when you call that lawyer, you can say that, "Mary gave me your name and I am looking for a lawyer who handles XYZ type of case."

Peruse the Internet. Do a search for "Virginia Personal Injury Attorney." Don't bother just typing in "personal injury attorney." That will return thousands of entries, most from geographical areas far from you. Rather, type in "auto accident attorney in Fairfax, Virginia" or "divorce attorney in Richmond, Virginia."
