What are the qualities of a good lawyer?
When you do not speak English it is important that your lawyer speak your language, in this case Polish.
You need to understand everything your lawyer tells you.
Before you hire your lawyer you should have an idea of what your lawyer is going to do with your case.
Is he promising you impossible things or not?
Sometimes you know ahead of time what is impossible to do.
Then you should find out from others about your lawyer.
You should ask if he or she had cases like yours and how did he manage those cases.
Second of all, when you sit at the table and have a conversation you should feel like an equal partner and not just another accident victim.
This is important.
During the entire process of your interaction with your lawyer, did you feel like you were an important client?
When I needed to know something in regards to my case or whenever I received some paperwork I would call my lawyer.
I would tell him that I wanted to meet him because I do not understand something or I got a letter and I would not know what was it all about.
My lawyer would find time for me by asking: When would you like to meet me? What time is best for you?
I would come to meet him and he would explain everything to me in Polish.
Answering all of my questions.
How do you remember the time when you were given a verdict by the New York Supreme Court?
This case was successful. This case was won for me by my lawyer in the Supreme Court.
My last name is on that verdict, but I am not happy about what I did for myself in this case.
I am happy about things that my lawyer did for me and for all in similar cases.
Your case was a precedent one. Based on your case other people can receive help too. Does it make you feel happy?
Yes, It is a source of some satisfaction, but a greater source of satisfaction comes from the fact that I got myself a proper attorney to handle my case.
