What should someone consider before hiring an attorney for a complicated case such as dangerous medication, defective products, professional negligence, and so forth.
These types of cases require special knowledge, financial power and contacts with respected experts. Ask questions about the experience and knowledge of the attorney you hire. He should welcome these questions. If your attorney represents more than one victim in a lawsuit, what provisions has he made to protect you if there's a conflict between you and the other client? Is your attorney prepared to go to trial if you reject settlement offers? Has he or she explained issues to you such as statute of limitation and causation?
