Attorneys typically provide a one time free consultation or case evaluation meeting, many attorneys will visit families at their homes or even in the hospital. Be sure to provide all documentation that you have as well as any written information that has been provided by the doctor at the initial meeting.

When talking to attorneys ask very specific questions about their experience with Erb's palsy cases. If the answers seem vague or the attorney won't answer about their experience, settlements or strategies this is usually a clear indication that you need to keep looking for representation.

Ask about billing and fees, especially in cases where there is confirmed Erb's palsy. Many attorneys will not charge anything other than a small retainer, with their fees being paid out of the settlement once it is completed.
