The
TV is inundated with flashy advertisements from personal injury attorneys, and
the Internet is sometimes not all that helpful as many sites do not tell you
much about the firm or the attorneys. While
it can sound good, it is important to place your trust in the right attorney in
order to get a fair settlement for injuries or death suffered as the result of
someone else’s negligence.
The
NOLO website advises that you look for an attorney that has “experience
handling your type of personal injury claim -- and whom you feel that you can
trust.” They suggest if you already have
a relationship with an attorney, that you ask them for a referral to a trustworthy
personal injury lawyer.
Once
you have a firm in mind, do a little research such as finding out something
about their background and philosophy.
For example Schiff & Associates’ attorneys will tell you that the
best part of their job is getting a fair settlement for their clients. As our attorney, Craig T. Smith, explains, “There’s
a satisfaction that comes when I make a difference in people’s lives.” He adds, “With a staff of highly-trained and
capable legal assistants and paralegals, we pull together as a team to make
positive differences for families so they can go forward with their lives.”
Another
thing you should know about the firm is how many years have they been in
business. At Schiff & Associates,
Scott Schiff started the law firm in 1985, and began by specializing in civil
litigation with an emphasis on catastrophic injury and wrongful death.
Also
when you consult with an attorney regarding your case, ask who will handle your
claim and if they have experience in your type of injury. Furthermore, are they willing to go to trial
if the case requires it? At Schiff &
Associates, our team of attorneys specializes in various areas of personal
injury law and is ready to go to trial if your case
requires it.
Finally
find out if your lawyer has a record of winning. At Schiff & Associates, we are proud to let
our clients know about our winning tradition and post a small sampling of case
settlements on our website. Please
