Experienced Practice Areas
Hiring a lawyer in Atlanta begins with the search for a good personal injury law firm. You can browse through our Practice Areas to see which types of injury or wrongful death cases The Dixon Firm, P.C. handles. Your attorney should specialize in the particular area of the law that pertains to your case, such as Atlanta personal injury. The practice areas should represent the circumstances of your accident. If you were injured in an elevator accident, for example, you want an attorney with experience handling this type of case.
Look for testimonials and Google reviews, or ask your friends and family members for references.
Free Consultation
The Dixon Firm, P.C. offers free initial consultations to discuss the basics of your case, such as fees and costs, and to get to know you. During the consultation, try to have any paperwork you have relating to your accident, such as medical bills or a copy of a police report on hand. The attorney will ask about the different actions potentially available to you and ways you may proceed. Once the attorney gets an idea of what your case entails, there will be a mutual selection process.
The attorney must agree to take your case, and you must decide if they’re the right representation for you. You should have a good feeling about your Atlanta personal injury lawyer and get along with him or her well. You and your lawyer should be on the same page about which legal route to take. Then, once you agree to work together, you will discuss the projected cost of pursuing a case.
Understand the Costs and Payment Arrangement
The Dixon Firm, P.C. works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won’t pay unless you receive monetary compensation. In this case, our legal team will discuss the fees ahead of time. You will sign a client retainer agreement with this fee schedule worked out. Understand exactly what the law firm will charge for its services, including fees for copying documents and filing paperwork with the courts. Remember, the most expensive or popular attorney may not be the best for your case. Neither will a “bargain” attorney get you the most money. Choose an attorney you feel comfortable about working with and who communicates confidently.
Work Together Toward a Settlement or Trial
While we can never guarantee results, if we take your case it is because we feel confident that it warrants investigation. Many personal injury cases can be settled following an investigation, while others must proceed to litigation and maybe to trial. Importantly, The Dixon Firm, P.C. are skilled trial lawyers. We are dedicated to presenting your case to a jury if necessary to obtain just compensation for you. Accordingly, we will answer any questions you may have along the way. Remember, you and your attorney are a team in this fight for justice and should work together.
