What type of law do you specialize in? resultsbuilder Nick Pearl2018-06-25T15:17:08+00:001. What type of law do you specialize in? Not all lawyers do all things. Make sure you find out what your lawyer’s specialty is before you hire 2. How long have you been practicing? resultsbuilder Nick Pearl2018-06-25T15:18:31+00:002. How long have you been practicing? Some new lawyers may be very creative and eager, however, you may want a more seasoned veteran to handle your case. Someone with years of experience may have a better understanding of how to help. 3. Will you be handling my case yourself? resultsbuilder Nick Pearl2018-06-25T15:20:17+00:003. Will you be handling my case yourself? This is especially important in a firm with several attorneys. The attorney you hire should have the time to meet with you in the office and speak with you on the phone. They should be the attorney appearing with you and for you in hearings. The attorney you hire should be the attorney who will be negotiating on your behalf, and if necessary, take your case to trial. In some firms, after your initial consultation, your case may get handed off to an lesser-skilled associate. Make sure your case is getting the attention it deserves from the attorney you hired. The last thing you want is for your case to be used as a “learning experience” for a new attorney. 4. How much do you charge? resultsbuilder Nick Pearl2018-06-25T15:20:39+00:004.

I practice with an emphasis on personal injury/auto accident cases. Since that time, no other lawyer in Hardin County has handled as many personal injury cases as I have. I have successfully handled more than 1,000 auto accident cases. My jury verdict record is excellent and I’ve received many of Hardin County’s highest jury verdicts.

No other attorney in Hardin County has handled more criminal defense cases. I handle all types of misdemeanor and felony charges, to include having successfully defended several clients in capital murder trials. Lastly, my divorce practice has been enormous since the start of my practice to include contested and uncontested divorce cases, along with complex property divisions and heart-wrenching custody fights.
