I know that some who frequent this board practice the legal profession. I need some help. Last week the van my mother was driving was crushed between two 18 wheeler trucks when an asphalt truck failed to stop at a railroad crossing. I have been asked to help find a lawyer to "help" my dad, but I have no idea how to go about it. Do I just yank out the phone book and start calling? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I already know to skip the guy that brought a bucket of chicken to the house while we were talking to the funeral home.

After I have located some likely candidates I would assume that a conversation/interview is in order. I have prepared a list of questions to ask when but I am sure that several important ones are missing. Again any help is appreciated.

If you are able go hug or call your mom.
