“Hey Siri, Find a Roanoke Personal Injury Lawyer”
If you’ve clicked on this blog then something tells me you’re hoping to find a personal injury lawyer. Already tired of typing searches like “Find a car accident lawyer near me” and “Roanoke Injury Lawyer” only to see a screen full of names you’ve heard on TV and find yourself wondering how to know if they’re any good at what they do? Perhaps, you’re doing the legwork for a friend or a family member that had the unfortunate experience of being injured in a slip and fall accident, a car accident, a medical mistake or a dog attack. However, you’ve arrived, I’m glad you’re here and I hope to be able to answer some of the most common questions that you may have about finding the right personal injury lawyer for your case.
Find the Best Personal Injury Lawyer For You By Reading Reviews
Using Google, try a generic search like “Roanoke Injury Lawyer”. When you get the listings scan for personal injury lawyers with 5 star ratings. You see one with a 5-star rating (that’s my firm!) and you’ll see others with competitive ratings as well. I urge you to open up the reviews and read them. When reading the reviews, look for reviews from actual clients. Sometimes well meaning friends of business owners will add reviews for products and services they have never used. These reviews are easy to spot because they are generic and say things like “great guy” or “very friendly”. That lawyer might be a “great guy” but not necessarily the car accident attorney you want representing you in your lawsuit. Another thing to keep in mind as you read reviews is to look for reviews from former clients who have had a case similar to yours. If you’re reading reviews about a lawyer and the majority of the reviews are about the time the lawyer represented them in traffic court, this is a red flag. Reviews like these tell you that the lawyer you are thinking about calling for your car accident case spends a great deal of his or her time in traffic court, not working on matters of personal injury.
Visit the Website to Learn More About Personal Injury Lawyers
Did you know the most visited page on any lawyer’s website is the bio page? No kidding. When I first learned that fact it was a shock to me, too. But when I really thought about it, it was easy for me to understand why. After someone has been injured, they often feel vulnerable and they are hoping to find someone that can provide them with the help they need. A victim of any personal injury needs to be able to connect with their lawyer. Visiting the bio page offers information that can make an accident victim feel more comfortable. I invite you to visit my page and get to know me a little better by clicking here.
View the Results Page
A reputable lawyer with experience will have a few feathers in his or her cap, so to speak. You should be able to find a catalog of these successes on the “Results” page of any Roanoke Personal Injury Lawyer’s website. If you don’t see a section for results, leave that page immediately by clicking the “back” button to return to the search page. Why so quick to judge? I hate to waste time and I don’t you to waste yours, either. If a lawyer doesn’t have a “results” page, they don’t have the experience you will need to win your case. Full stop. Once on a results page, you should use the same strategy we talked about earlier. Be sure to look for personal injury case results only, not great outcomes for worker’s compensation cases or family law settlements. You want a personal injury attorney that devotes all of their time to personal injury litigation, not dabbles in it as if it’s an online cooking class. Be sure to read about my results, including my $21 Million Dollar settlement, here.
Look for Phrases like “Our Lawyers” or “Our Team”
I also view this as a red flag. Using phrases like this lets the potential client know right away that the namesake lawyer in the firm plans on handing your case off to an inexperienced associate, a paralegal or a legal assistant. When you hire me as your lawyer, you will work with me.

You’ll have questions that can’t be answered on a website. That’s why I offer a free consultation. I also offer after hours in person or phone appointments. I hope that you found this information helpful in your efforts to find a personal injury lawyer.
