4 Steps To Choose A Great Mesothelioma Cancer Attorney


Choosing the best asbestos cancer attorney can make the difference between a long drawn out case with limited compensation and a quick recovery and great compensation. 

1. Interview at least 3 attorneys 

Some attorneys will not charge you up front but will take a percentage of the proceeds.
There will be a variance in the percentage each attorney takes from the proceeds.
This can vary from 20-50 percent of the compensation. 

2. Experience of the attorney 

Just because an asbestos lawyer receives a higher percentage of proceeds does not mean they are the most experienced.
Find out the number of years they have been practicing and ask for referrals. 


3. Accomplishments of the attorney 

Have them show you examples of suits they have won, because this will help you decide if they have the experience. 

4. Will the attorney you interview be the one to represent you 

Some asbestos law firms will have their lead attorney interview and then turn you over to a less experienced associate. 

In conclusion, use these guidelines and you will save yourself and your family a lot of frustration, time and money. Interview, check experience, check accomplishments and be sure who is representing you.
