Sidney Royer started out as a psychiatric social worker, and worked for several years in that capacity in a number of different hospitals. Her familiarity with hospital administration and medical procedures made her particularly well qualified to deal with the intricacies of medical and psychiatric malpractice cases when she turned to the law in 1983. Since then, she has helped scores of clients, not only those injured through medical neglect or abuse, but also victims of violent crime, and people who have been seriously injured in a variety of circumstances. In each of these cases, her background has allowed to better understand the trauma faced by those who have been seriously injured, and to forcefully advocate on their behalf.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
