Before You Choose a Lawyer, Ask These 4 Questions

When you’ve suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, choosing the right lawyer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Whether it’s a car wreck, a slip and fall, or a more serious personal injury claim, having an attorney who knows the law, understands your needs, and has a proven record can make all the difference.

If you’re searching for a personal injury attorney in Hammond, Mandeville, or across the Northshore, here’s a checklist of four critical questions to ask before you make your choice. 

1. What’s Their Reputation in the Community? 

Experience matters, but reputation matters even more! A lawyer’s credibility in the community reflects not only their skill in the courtroom but also their integrity and commitment to clients. 

At Anderson Traylor Edwards, we’ve built decades of trust throughout Tangipahoa Parish, St. Tammany Parish, and surrounding areas. Our clients know that we don’t just handle cases; we care about people. From the first consultation to the final resolution, our attorneys focus on giving clients the respect, attention, and advocacy they deserve. 

2. Are They Local or a Big Law Firm? 

Choosing a local attorney has major advantages. Local lawyers know the courts, judges, and opposing attorneys. They understand the unique legal landscape of Louisiana personal injury law, and are deeply invested in the well-being of their community.

We live here, work here, and raise our families here. We are your second family when it comes to trusting someone who is committed to fighting and representing you. The team at Anderson Traylor Edwards not only practices law; we protect our friends, family, and neighbors. 

3. Do They Have a History of Loyal, Long-Term Client Relationships?

A personal injury lawyer should be someone you can trust long-term. Many clients return to us or recommend us to family and friends because we treat them like family, and fight tirelessly for their rights. 

Our attorneys have over 50 years of combined experience handling cases from car, truck, and motorcycle wrecks to wrongful death claims and injuries from defective products. Our clients stay with us because they know we prioritize their best interests and pursue fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Seeking justice after an injury shouldn’t be overwhelming. You need someone you can trust with a great reputation within the Northshore area. Our homegrown Hammond attorneys are compassionate, tough, and dedicated to helping you navigate the personal injury claim process with confidence.
