How do you choose the right law firm? Attorney David Schmidt, a lawyer with Woodlawn Law Offices in O'Fallon, MO, discusses key points to help you decide. His 25 years of practice includes estate planning, personal injury, workers comp, wills/trusts, elder law, disability claims including social security disability, real estate matters, small business documents including incoporations and LLCs,  and DWI cases.

Experience makes a difference when choosing a law firm. For example, if you have a complex personal injury case or estate planning situation, you want a law firm able to handle your needs because they have done so successfully for other clients.

Accessibility of the law firm and your lawyer plays an important role in your choice. Is the firm’s physical location convenient and comfortable? Will you be able to call and speak with your attorney, or will your main point of communication be an associate or a staff member? Find out how the firm will keep you up-to-date on your case’s progress. That’s important if your legal matter takes months or years to resolve, such as a complex personal injury case.

Look for a law firm known for being thorough and attentive to client needs and goals. If you are interviewing a disability law firm or personal injury lawyer, ask how many cases the lawyer has personally handled, the success rate, and outcomes. Ask for references, check them, and ask yourself whether you feel good about having the lawyer and the firm represent you.
