Using The Internet To Find A Personal Injury Lawyer

The first step in finding a Maryland personal injury lawyer is to find some candidates for review.  Once you do this, the section on what makes a good personal injury lawyer will tell you how to choose between the candidates.

To get some candidates you need names.  Start with a Google search for Maryland personal injury lawyer or click advertisements of personal injury lawyers that appear in your time browsing the Internet.  

You should have no problem finding names, in fact you will likely be overwhelmed.  Look for Maryland lawyers who talk about the type of case you have on their website.  Find lawyers who practice only in the field of personal injury and this should make you list of names more manageable.  Remember, flashy websites are easy to create, but good lawyers will shine through if you research them long enough.

Once you have 3-5 lawyers who, from their website, you feel confident in do the following:

1)  Surf to the Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission to see if there have been any sanctions against that lawyer in the past five years.

2) Google their name and see what shows up.  Look for blog posts, forum posts or news articles that mention this lawyer. Also pay attention to posts by past clients regarding the lawyer.

Keep in mind, that not all good lawyers are prevelent on the internet.  Most have some presence, but some work harder to get their name out there.

I once asked an accomplished lawyer why he was not in the news or posting on blogs daily.  His answer was that he was too busy representing the interests of his clients to spend the time necessary to market himself on the Internet. Real good lawyers do not need to market agressivly.

This is why the next section, What makes a good personal injury lawyer is the most important when choosing a lawyer.  You can get a good starting point on the internet but not until you actually talk to the lawyer will you know the true quality of that lawyer.
