of the other major things to find out is if the lawyer is specialized in medical malpractice, find out his or her success record and what level of familiarity the lawyer has with your specific case. All in all, if you have a lawyer you trust with whom you can communicate honestly and who will only expect to be paid after an eventual win in court or via settlement, then you have done an excellent job. Don't hesitate to ask friends for suggestions or ask your lawyer to give you a reference whom you can contact to find out a bit out his or her track record.
