Finding a Personal Injury Attorney
Anyone can Google “personal injury attorney near me” or other similar phrase and find dozens, if not hundreds of attorneys who handle personal injury claims. So finding a personal injury attorney is not a difficult feat. However, finding the right personal injury attorney can be much more difficult.
Finding the Right Personal Injury Attorney
The attorney-client relationship is like any other type of relationship when it comes to what’s needed for the relationship to be successful. A successful attorney-client relationship requires:
• Good communication
• Mutual respect
• Trust
• Common goals
If you’ve been injured in an accident through no fault of your own, you may be able to seek financial compensation for the unexpected expenses and other losses you’ve incurred. This is often achieved through a personal injury claim against the at-fault individual or business.
Most people understand that being sued is an incredibly stressful event. But fewer people understand that being a plaintiff in a personal injury case can be equally taxing on your mind and emotional state. Psychologists have used the terms “critogenesis” and “litigation response syndrome” to describe emotional injuries caused by litigation.
While it’s impossible to avoid the negative impacts of your personal injury claim completely, there are ways to limit the impact. One very important thing you can do is to pick the right attorney. This is imperative to mitigating the stress of your personal injury claim.
Why Should I Hire Your Firm for my Personal Injury Case?
You're hurt, frustrated, and angry. We understand and want to help you through this tough time. We could try to impress you with stats about how many cases we have successfully settled, the figures of large settlements we have obtained for clients, or the number of combined decades of experience the Firm has, but those things aren’t that important to finding the right attorney for you.
Here are some of the things that set us apart from other Firms:
1. Experience with similar claims.
We have extensive knowledge of the law, insurance company tactics, and previous case history saving you a lot of stress, time and research.
2. No fees if you don't win your case.
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don't pay us for our time if you don’t recover any money. When you do recover compensation for your injury, our fee will be paid out of the settlement you receive, so there is no upfront payment required.*
3. We save you precious time.
Do you have hours and hours to request and review your own medical records? Review police and medical charts? Communicate back and forth with the insurance adjuster? Probably not. Let us, the professionals with experience in these type of matters, handle this for you.
4. We know investigators.
If there is a question of assets, insurance, or liability, you need to know how to prove your case. We know the professionals that can help us find this information and build your claim.
5. Experience working with other lawyers.
Did you know that bankruptcy, divorce, criminal charges, and more can all affect your personal injury case? We do! And we can work with other attorneys you may have handling these matters to reach a solution in your best interest. We are also familiar with working with Defense attorneys should your case progress past negotiations and move into the litigation phase.
6. Knowledge of the personal injury process.
We have spent years learning the ins and outs of personal injury law. This vast knowledge arms us with the tools needed to effectively negotiate your personal injury settlement. Or, go to trial, if necessary.
7. Settlements are higher.
We know it's not always fair, but people who hire attorneys statistically receive more money in their personal injury settlement. Even after paying the attorney fees, on average, our clients still walk away with more money than they would have received representing themselves.
8. We can go to trial.
In the event your personal injury negotiations do not resolve the matter satisfactorily, we can represent you at trial. You can represent yourself, but the odds of you getting a good result against an experienced defense attorney is low. Our Firm has significant trial experience and knows how to present a winning case to a jury.
Navigating the personal injury claims process can be confusing and stressful, particularly if you are still recovering from significant injuries. Let us help you get the compensation you deserve.

*If the Firm is fired prior to a settlement being negotiated, the Firm may place a lien on your settlement proceeds to be reimbursed for work completed by the Firm. There may be times when Client’s are required to prepay costs associated with trial such as filing fees and witness fees. All of this is set out in further detail in Client’s Fee Agreements.
