You can certainly contact your local state bar association for referral suggestions. Otherwise, search like we do for anything...Google it! There is a lot of lawyer information online and you should have no problem not only finding a dental malpractice lawyer, but one with an excellent reputation.

In Michigan, finding a quality medical malpractice attorney, is difficult because so few practitioners bother to do it any longer. This is compounded by the fact that many attorneys that don't have a clue how to handle a malpractice case advertise for it, hoping to get a referral fee from a real lawyer.

I think you should search the web to see if any lawyers near you advertise as doing dental malpractice law. There are not a lot of such lawyers, so you might not find such a lawyer.

That's really a tough area in which to find an attorney because the costs associated with bringing the case normally outweigh the recovery. No lawyer will work without some chance he'll get paid something for his time. My only suggestions would be to search for dental malpractice verdicts to see who represented the plaintiffs and do another search for an attorney who also has a dental degree.

Call the Bar Association; research the internet. Ask your friends. Ask your lawyer.

There are lawyers paying thousands of dollars to have you find them. You could start with the yellow pages, try an internet search and check with your local bar association to see if they have a lawyer referral program.

Contact your local bar. Most keep lists but if the bar is small they will likely know. Make sure you have a dentist who will prove your claim. Your opinion counts for nothing in such a case.
