1
Ask your friends and family. Referrals are the best way to find a car wreck lawyer. Someone who has proven their skill and ability for one of your best friends or family is someone who you will trust. You will have a good sense of whether or not the fee's are fair and what the process will be like with this specific person.

If you do not find a lawyer through referral, it is time to start an internet or phone book search. Look specifically for car wreck lawyers, personal injury cases, or whatever it is you need them for. A real estate attorney is not going to do you much good. Make a list of the possibilities and write down their phone numbers.

Start the phone calls. Even with a referral you want to call to find out basic information. What are their fees? Some lawyers will offer the deal that you don't pay until your lawsuit is settled. What do they need from you? How much experience do they have? Ask the questions important to you and narrow down your choices.
