Motor Vehicle Accident Attorney Checklist
How Do I Choose a Vehicle Accident Lawyer?
It is tempting after an accident to choose the first attorney you see an ad for, whether on TV, a billboard, or the Internet. Like most legal issues, a motor vehicle accident is something you want to put behind you as quickly as possible. However, you must consider the long-term consequences of choosing an attorney. The outcome of your case could affect your life for years.
After a vehicle accident, it is important to understand what your attorney can do for you. There are questions you can ask to gain a sense of whether they have the credentials and qualities you need. We encourage you to contact us to learn how we may help you.
After suffering a serious injury, it’s hard to get your priorities straight. Why do you need a lawyer? What can a lawyer do that you can’t do yourself? How does this whole system work? Scott J. Corwin will take the mystery out of a confusing process. We are respected by peers, but more importantly, we are appreciated by our clients.
Call us today (310) 683-2300 now for a free consultation and get the compensation you deserve.
Some of the critical questions to ask a lawyer include:
- How much experience do you have in this area of law?
- How many years have you been handling motor vehicle accidents?
- How do you approach motor vehicle accident cases?
- What is the fee arrangement? Do I pay any upfront costs?
- Will I work with you, your associates, or your staff?
- What are my rights as an accident victim?
- What happens if I need access to medical care during the case? Can you help?
- Where did you go to law school? Was it a highly rated and accredited law school?
- What peer recognition have you received in the legal community?
- Have you received a ranking from any attorney rating agency?
- Are you a member of any consumer attorney organizations?
- How many clients do you have? Are you so busy that you won’t have time to spend on my case?
- How quickly do you respond to telephone calls or emails from clients?
- Are you available to respond to client’s calls and emails after working hours and on weekends?

Here What People Have to Say About Scott-
A month ago, I was involved in a car crash and broke my right wrist. The process with this attorney was pretty fast. Scott was able to help me and also Julie was always super nice and very professional. I’m very glad everything was easy and fast.
- Sabrina Guna -
Scott got the personal injury settlement amount I expected to get (actually a few percent more). He was quiet and efficient, not a time-waster. Perfect fit for a working person.
