Reading the roster in San Luis Obispo. When reading the roster for an injury matter, weigh trial experience in the county where the crash or fall happened, familiarity with the local superior court's personal-injury hub departments, and how the attorney handles fees, most injury attorneys work on contingency, so ask what percentage applies and who advances costs. Attorneys who practice personal injury regularly will move quickly on evidence preservation and the six-month government-claim deadline when a public entity is involved.
