How to Find the Best Lawyer in Nashville, TN

If you were recently hurt in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you deserve compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. But as you may quickly find out, getting a settlement from the at-fault party’s insurance company isn’t easy. After all, insurers don’t post huge profits year after year by paying injured victims the money they deserve.

Having an experienced Nashville car accident attorney on your side can help level the playing field and give you a chance to rest and recover. But how do you know which attorney and law firm is right for you when there are so many to choose from? Use the following steps and ask yourself the following questions to narrow down your search to find the best lawyer for you in Nashville:

  • Check reviews—When you search for the attorney or law firm online, what do you see? A good law firm will have plenty of positive reviews from real clients. If the firm you’re considering doesn’t have many reviews—or has many bad reviews—it may be time to consider other options. In addition, it’s important to check multiple websites instead of relying solely on Google or Facebook.
  • Look for professional recommendations—The more professional law groups your potential attorney belongs to, the better. Look for membership and entries in organizations such as Best Lawyers, Martindale, Justia, Avvo, and more. These websites also may contain information about awards that the attorney or law firm has received over the years, as well as any landmark decisions, significant case results, leadership roles, etc.
  • Browse their website—A highly-rated attorney or law firm won’t do you much good if they don’t handle your type of case. For example, consulting a divorce attorney doesn’t make much sense if you need help with a car accident claim. When you first visit an attorney website, it should be immediately clear and obvious what type of cases they handle and whether they’re capable of assisting you and your loved ones.
  • Schedule a consultation—Many attorneys offer free initial consultations. This is your chance to get a feel for their firms, their personalities, and their skillsets. It’s important to provide as much information about your accident or injury as possible during this time, as the more information you provide, the more accurately the attorney and support staff will be able to determine how best to proceed with your claim.

It’s also important to trust your gut feeling. If you don’t feel a connection with the attorneys, staff members, or others at the firm, repeat the steps listed above with other firms. You should be comfortable and trusting of the people who will be handling your claim and in charge of getting you compensation for your accident-related expenses.
