Things You Will Need

persistance
critical thinking skills

Step 1 Ask people you have met in support groups if they can recommend some mesothelioma law firms. In cases like this, word of mouth will be far more helpful that looking through the phone book or looking online. You will be able to hear their personal stories and experiences. Many support groups will also have a list of resources for you.
Step 2 Call the mesothelioma law firms that have been suggested to you. When meeting with the lawyers, ask about their history in trying these cases and ask how long they have been focused on them. Determine how knowledgeable they are about mesothelioma. You want to be confident that they know what they are dealing with and how best to fight for you and your family.
Step 3 Contact your state Bar Association and inquire about the law firm's standing. You want to stay away from any firm that has had complaints filed against it or is in poor standing. Be sure it is in good standing among all of the mesothelioma law firms.
Step 4 Observe the mesothelioma law firms you are interested in to see how they interact with you and your family. When choosing which law firm to hire, you want it to be one you are comfortable with and feel has your best interest in mind. Ask your family which one they are comfortable with of the mesothelioma law firms and lawyers because there may be a point where they will be the ones primarily dealing with them.
