Looking for the "Best" Lawyer for Your Case?
Of course you are. That's only natural. In Connecticut, the rules that govern ethical conduct by attorneys restrict attorneys from proclaiming that they are "the best." The rule probably makes sense because, otherwise, some attorneys might brag that they are better than all others and potential clients could easily become confused by all of the claims.
So, how do you choose a lawyer, then? We suggest that you spend some time investigating reputations, which are hard-won, often over many years. Ask around among persons whose opinions you respect. Seek suggestions from a number of sources and see which names keep coming up.
You might also consider some of the publications that have compiled peer-reviewed directories of attorneys in various fields. We are honored that four (4) of our attorneys, Bill Davis, Jim Bartolini, John Houlihan and Michael Jainchill, have been listed in the field of personal injury litigation in Best Lawyers in America 2009, © 2008 Woodward/White, Inc., Aiken, S.C.
