what kind of lawyer would I need for being attacked by a dog

A lawyer that takes care of personal injury cases with experience handling dog bite claims would do the job.  While many dog bite cases are pretty standard, there are issues that you must be aware of including whether the dog owner carries insurance (or if there is an exclusion), the extent of injury, the dog's prior history, and extenuating circumstances that may be involved.  Please feel free to contact me at 954-727-8285 if you would like to discuss your case.
