10 Questions To Ask Your<br />
Personal <strong>In</strong>jury Lawyer...<br />

retain a lawyer:<br />
1. Does the law firm specialize in personal injury?<br />
2. Will the law firm provide a FREE consultation?<br />
How quickly can they schedule your free no-obligation<br />
personal injury evaluation?<br />
3. Will the lawyer come to you at the hospital or in your<br />
home?<br />
Are visits available free of charge anywhere in Ontario?<br />
4. Does the firm bill on a contingency basis?<br />
(This means that no fees are collected by the lawyer<br />
until the matter is settled. The personal injury lawyer<br />
will receive a percentage of what you recover.)<br />

What are the possible outcomes of my case?<br />
6. Approximately how long will it take to resolve my<br />
matter?<br />
7. How will you keep me informed of progress?<br />
8. Do you return calls in a short period of time?<br />
9. What kind of approach will you take to resolve the<br />
matter – aggressive and unyielding, or will you be<br />
more inclined to reach a reasonable settlement?<br />
10. Does the law firm have online reviews and testimonials for<br />
you to read?<br />
