Q: What is the most important personal trait for a good attorney?

A: Perhaps more than with any other type of law, having an attorney who is a good listener is essential to the success of a personal injury claim.  Without good listening skills your lawyer cannot fully understand your injuries and the impact that they have had on your life.  Given that non-economic damages, often referred to as pain and suffering, can be the biggest portion of your claim, don’t you think it is important for your attorney to have a good understanding of how your life has changed since your accident.  Of course!
