While there are many ways to locate a personal injury lawyer, the best way almost always is to rely on the recommendation of a friend. If someone you know has used a lawyer before and was satisfied with the lawyer’s work, you probably will be satisfied also.

Don’t choose a lawyer based only on advertisements. That doesn’t tell you whether the law firm is good – just that they have good marketing.

Be sure the lawyer you choose offers free consultation on the initial visit. Good personal injury lawyers will not charge you for your first conference.

Never hire a lawyer who contacts you following an injury, whether the lawyer makes the contact directly or through a go-between. It is a felony in the State of Texas for a lawyer to solicit business in this manner. Surely you do not want a felon as a lawyer!
