The United States Constitution guarantees you the right to represent yourself in a legal dispute. It is no secret that insurance companies and their lawyers prefer it when injured people try to represent themselves. People who are unfamiliar with the law often do not understand the actual value of their claims and fail to get fairly compensated when they negotiate directly with insurance companies or represent themselves in court.

Choosing a lawyer, however, can be a bewildering experience. The law is becoming increasingly specialized and having the right lawyer can make a big difference in how your case is handled and how you feel at the end of your case.

Here is a list of basic questions that you should ask any lawyer that you are thinking about hiring. If you have an injury claim, call us and ask these and any other questions you have. You will find that Boller & Vaughan S.C., has the right lawyers for anyone who has been injured.

• What is your experience in this field of law?


• Have you handled matters similar to mine?


• What are the possible outcomes of my case?


• What are my alternatives in resolving the matter?


• Approximately how long will it take to resolve?


• What do you charge, and how are fees and expenses billed?


• Will you keep me informed of the progress of my case?


• Will there be people besides a lawyer working on my case?
