Selecting a Vioxx or Celebrex Lawyer

*Editors Note* This article has been written specifically for those interested in information about Vioxx lawsuits but may become applicable to the users of Celebrex and as such, has been added here.

Since the painkiller Vioxx was recalled by Merck in late September, hundreds of lawsuits have been filed on behalf of thousands of Vioxx users. Did you use Vioxx? Were you damaged in any way from using Vioxx? Do you have a case against Merck? Consulting a class action attorney is the only way to know.

The following information relates to the Vioxx recall and the selection of a Vioxx attorney but it may also apply in the case of a Celebrex or Bextra recall.

Finding a Vioxx Attorney

1) Consult a Vioxx attorney. Not all attorneys specialize in class action suits, so just any attorney will not do. Look at the ads on this page or do a 'Google' search for "Vioxx attorney".

2) If you visit a website and you don't see clearly that it is operated by a lawyer - leave. Do not give any personal information to an intermediary of any kind. A website operated by a Vioxx attorney should have complete contact information including the name, address and phone number and not just an email address.

3) If something looks 'too good to be true' - it probably is 'too good to be true'. Don't be fooled by phony websites that promise to make you a 'Vioxx millionaire'.

4) Consult with friends and relatives regarding the selection of a Vioxx attorney. They may know of an excellent attorney that specializes in class action lawsuits.

5) Be informed. Read articles on Vioxx recall and Vioxx lawsuits on this site and on sites such as Vioxx News and Celebrex and Vioxx Update.

6) The only person that can tell if you have a viable case is a Vioxx attorney. If you or someone you love has been hurt by the use of Vioxx, you owe it to yourself to consult with a Vioxx attorney.
