What are some important things to consider when selecting a lawyer? First of all, you want to find somebody that focuses their practice on a specific type of case or situation that you’re involved in.
For us, we are personal injury attorneys and it’s the same as you would not want to have your family practice doctor take care of a heart surgery or something like that. You wouldn’t go to a family law attorney for something like a personal injury or a medical malpractice case.
Next you want somebody who is experienced, who knows what they’re doing. There are a lot of very smart kids that come out of law school and they’re extremely intelligent. But law school really doesn’t teach you how to practice law. It teaches you how to understand the laws but when you’re actually working in the field, it’s a very different ballgame.
Brent Probinsky, I believe he has been in practice for 34 years. He has tried over 100 cases. He has multiple multimillion dollar settlements and verdicts.
Myself, I’ve been in practice for eight years. I used to work for insurance companies, which is a pretty valuable perspective in this field. I’ve tried between 30 and 40 cases as well. So we’re very experienced at what we do here and we do injury types of cases. That is all we do here.
Finally and probably most importantly, you want to involve a firm to represent you that has your best interest in mind.
All of the attorneys and staff here are good quality people. We care about our clients. We work very closely with the community including local charities. Brent provides a lot of disaster relief to the Hispanic community and most importantly we’re going to have your best interest in mind throughout your case and fight to get every penny that your claim is worth.
