Is it important which attorney I hire?

Yes. While all attorneys must pass certain minimum standards to practice law and be licensed by the state, there are vast differences between attorneys in terms of their areas of practice, level of experience and the types of cases they handle. Brain injury cases are unique and one should consider finding a lawyer who is knowledgeable, experienced and concentrates his practice in handling traumatic brain injury cases, in the same way that one would want to find a doctor experienced in these injuries before seeking treatment.
