Finding the Right Missouri Construction Law Attorney
If you or a family member has been involved in a Missouri construction site accident, you deserve the strength and support of a construction law firm that is familiar with laws governing construction accidents and personal injury.
The Hershewe Law Firm in Joplin, Missouri, has defended accident victims in injury and liability cases since 1977, recovering millions in verdicts and settlements for injured workers and the families of those killed by negligence or wrongdoing.
Selecting the right attorney for your construction injury case is a serious consideration. You should select a law firm with experience in successfully defending construction injury cases and employing attorneys you are comfortable working with. Here are a few guidelines for selecting the appropriate construction accident lawyer to help you:
- Make sure the attorney and the law firm have successfully handled Missouri construction accident and injury cases before.
- Confirm that the attorney you’re interviewing is trained in construction defect and accident litigation.
- Ask if you’ll be charged for an initial consultation; find out what the attorney charges per hour.
- Get an estimate of how many hours the attorney anticipates working to complete your case.
- Ask about the attorney’s current caseload.
- Will the attorney provide you with a contract or letter of employment? Ask to see a sample.
- Get a list of references and a profile about the lawyer with construction accident and injury law experience. Find out where the attorney attended law school and in which states the attorney is a member of the Bar Association.
- Find out if the attorney you are interviewing has been reprimanded, cited for an ethics violation, had complaints filed against, or lost the license to practice law.
- Ask if the attorney has received special honors or published articles/books in his area of specialty.
- Look at where the lawyer and firm advertise.
- Confirm that the attorney refers and receives referrals from other attorneys when appropriate to best serve a client.
- Ask where the construction accident lawyer has recently attended seminars or accessed professional development to remain current in the field.
- Find out if you can review summaries of construction accident and injury cases similar to yours.
- If you’re interviewing an attorney in a multi-lawyer practice, ask who all will potentially be working on your case.
