Also, if a lawyer has little to no reviews, this may be concerning because of their lack of experience. Most certainly, you’ll want to avoid attorneys with many negative reviews.

Great lawyers will make you feel heard. They will also update you on your case’s status and promptly respond to your calls or emails. To get a feel for a lawyer’s communication skills, you can schedule a consultation with them to talk about your potential case.

How to Sue a Company for a Bad Product

- Gather evidence, including documentation of the injury;

- Research the product and where it came from; and
