Similar to buying a car, or even renting an apartment – there are many things to consider when hiring an attorney. Just as important it is to hire the right lawyer, it is equally important to avoid hiring the wrong one. Here’s some things to look out for as you search for the right lawyer to handle your case

To begin with, does the lawyer have a history of receiving ethical complaints? If so, maybe it’s time to look for another lawyer. There’s an abundance of lawyers that do not have any disciplinary charges filed against them. Always, always check out www.massbbo.org to search for an attorney that you were interested in hiring. If he or she has a spotty disciplinary history, that may be a red flag. 

Secondly, is the attorney promising you a quick settlement? That too may be a red flag to look out for, there is no question that personal injury and workers’ compensation cases can take a considerable time to settle. Sometimes the process can take many months and sometimes even many years to settle a case. Any lawyer who tells you differently, is not being upfront and honest with you.

Carolyn Elefant is an attorney who is truly a pioneer in blogging.  Her blog is geared primarily to "solo" attorneys and the many issues they face everyday.  I find it to be educational and entertaining.  The blog is entited my myshingle.com and it is in my opinion one of the best legal blogs online.

David Brannen, a personal injury attorney in Nova Scotia, Canada, has a great blog devoted to personal injury law.  I like the blog because it illuminates the differences, as well as the similarities between personal injury law in Canada and in the United States.  His blog is entitled Injury Law Blog.

For a blog that covers personal injury law in great detail, I highly recommend the California Personal Injury and Insurance Blog written by Jonathan G. Stein, a colleague of mine who is a California personal injury attorney and former insurance claims adjuster.  Attorney Stein’s blog is well written and exhaustive in its discussion of personal injury and insurance law.  The link is http://jonathangstein.typepad.com/california_personal_injur/.
