A:Plaintiff lawyers understand that a potential client’s injuries may make it difficult to travel to the lawyer’s office. It is very common to have an initial attorney-client meeting at the client’s home or in the hospital. However, it is advisable to research a plaintiff lawyer before meeting in person. It is helpful to start by looking at the lawyer’s profile on the firm’s website. Look at the other members of the plaintiff lawyer’s firm. Look at the firm’s results. Call the firm and ask them to mail you a packet of materials. Ask friends about the law firm. In short, do your homework.
