Where can I find success statistics on lawyers?
I am located in Michigan and I am in search of a lawyer who specializes in medical malpractice/negligence cases. Please let me know if you know anyone! :) By success, I suppose I mean the number of cases that are settled out of court. Or lawyers who are just good at what they do and are willing to take on larger practices.

- Well, define "success", especially since those types of cases are generally settled confidentially.
- There are no such stats because there is no definition of success. Good reason, too. Suppose before trial the doctor's insurer offered to settle a case for $100,000. The offer was refused and the matter went to trial. The jury found for the plaintiff but awarded a grand total of one hundred bucks. To those who do not know about the pre-trial offer ( to the whole world), it looks like a victory but in fact the trial was flop. That is why there no statistics.
