Why Select the Law Offices of William H. Newkirk?

The Attorney You Choose Makes a Difference

The attorney you choose to represent you can make a difference in the amount of monetary compensation you receive.

When selecting an attorney, make sure that attorney has a lot of experience in your type of case.

If you needed a heart bypass you would go to a heart surgeon. Similarly, if you suffered a serious personal injury or medical malpractice or lost a loved one to a wrongful death, you need an attorney experienced in that practice area.

How to Choose an Attorney

Check the attorney's practice areas. Make sure the attorney has handled many cases like yours.

Review the attorney's verdicts and settlements. See what sorts of results the attorney earned for his clients in similar cases to yours.

Look the attorney up on the California State Bar website to check for any disciplinary action against him.

Evaluate how comfortable you feel with the attorney and his staff. Were you allowed to talk to the attorney or only with staff? Did the attorney seem interested in your case?

Ask yourself if you understood the attorney's explanations. Were your questions answered?

Will your case be handled by a junior associate or by the experienced attorney in the office?
