Choosing a Personal Injury Lawyer Toronto
Residents Trust

Your television, radio, and newspaper are packed
with advertisements for lawyers specializing in
personal injury cases. How can you figure out
which personal injury lawyer Toronto citizens
rely on for success? Lets take a minute to
discuss a few ways you can find the right lawyer
for you.
3
The first thing you may want to do is tone down
the rhetoric you are hearing on your television
and radio. The fact a lawyer can have a great
commercial made does not equate to success in the
courtroom and in settlement negotiations. You are
going to need to dig a little deeper to learn
those tidbits of information.

5
A good starting point is to visit with family,
friends, and co-workers. Ask who has used an
attorney and what their results were. If you are
not finding very many references the next logical
place is to turn to your social media circles.
6
People are often very vocal about their successes
and failures when it comes to working with an
attorney. If you do a little searching on
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google you will
find individuals in your community who had great
success with an attorney. Send them a brief note
and ask about their experience. This will help
you quickly sort out which person injury lawyers
in Toronto are considered trustworthy,
respectable, and effective.
7
When you get your list down to few attorneys you
may want to review their websites to learn more
about their business. Do they come across as
professional or as a wild story? What kind of
attorney do you want to work with? Some attorneys
list their rates on their websites but you need
to ignore that information for now. Hourly rates
are not a valid indicator of competency or value.
You may discover the most expensive attorney is
the greatest value due to professionalism,
effectiveness, and the settlements they negotiate.
8
Do not stop your search quite yet. Take a few
minutes to check with the Better Business Bureau
and other professional organizations to make sure
the attorney does not have excessive complaints.
Just be aware that most assertive attorneys will
have at least some complaints filed due to their
aggressive nature. Look at the facts of the
complaint not just the fact a complaint was filed.
9
The most important step is the one you might be
trying to avoid. Personal injury lawyers Toronto
firm, or legal office dealing with these types of
cases will usually offer free initial
consultations. When you have reduced your list to
two or three potential attorneys schedule a free
consultation with each one. Find out what you
think of their communication style, office, and
attitude by sitting down in their office.
10
Why is this effort to find a personal injury
lawyer Toronto victims have used successfully? It
can mean thousands of dollars difference in your
settlement. It may mean your case is settled
rapidly out of court instead of taking months.
Choosing the right attorney simplifies your life
both today and in the future by getting the best
representation possible.
