Check out these top 5 tips for finding the right personal injury lawyer.

1. Strong Track Record of Winning

When it comes to legal representation, winning matters. The caring, compassionate AZ Injury Law team at Schmidt, Sethi & Akmajian has decades of experience helping injured Arizonans and has won dozens of complex personal injury cases - recovering over $150 million in settlements and judgments for our injured clients. 

In fact, 98% of our cases end in a fair settlement. And if we can't negotiate a fair settlement, we have a reputation for not stopping at anything for our clients. We won't hesitate to take any case to trial if it means compensation for your pain and suffering. 

2. Expert Preparation and Investigation

Serious personal injury cases can be incredibly complex and require preparation and prior experience that goes above-and-beyond the average attorney. Between the complexities of the law, the influence that insurance companies try to assert, and various forms of red tape, you need a confident, well-respected attorney who stops at nothing to prepare a winning case.

Truth be told, the majority of our injury cases do not go to trial - and there is a reason for that. We prepare for trial in every case and insurance companies, opposing attorneys and others know we fight hard at trial due to our considerable preparation if the opposing side does not offer a fair settlement.

3. Respected in the Legal and Local Community
