MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota. If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Minneapolis, Minnesota, you may be thinking about contacting a lawyer. One of the questions you’ll need to ask yourself as you consider which lawyer to hire is whether you want to work with a big law firm or a small one. While the big law firms might have advertisements on television and the lawyers may have a public persona, sometimes it makes sense to work with a smaller firm.
According to the Balance, most lawyers work for smaller firms. Lawyers on smaller firms generally take a more hands-on approach to their cases. Larger firms may have some of the work performed by paralegals, who are not lawyers. It is important to consider who you want to work on your case and whether it is important to be able to reach your lawyer in the event of an emergency. While larger law firms may have a person answering the phone, it can sometimes be difficult to get in touch with your lawyer who may be handling multiple cases at once. At a smaller firm, your lawyer may be the person answering the phone and e-mails.
In personal injury law, your lawyer won’t get paid unless you win. This means that your lawyer will generally only take on your case if he or she believes you have a strong claim. Different firms might specialize in different types of claims. It is important to call around and speak to different lawyers to get a sense of which firm might be the best match for you. According to the American Bar Association, some clients are seeking out smaller firms with services that more specifically match their needs at fees that make sense for their budgets.
