Don’t settle for a mediocre, 2nd-rate Lawyer.
Lawyers will say or do anything to get business – especially when they are desperate for business. One desperate and unprofessional tactic that is frequently used is offering a ‘FREE CASE EVALUATION.”
The truth is that no competent attorney can give a competent “case evaluation” without all of the facts. It simply cannot be competently done in a “one time” first visit.
A good attorney will collect all of the facts including all facts relating to the liability of the at-fault party, making a full investigation. The attorney will collect and review all medical records, review the victim’s past medical history and other medical conditions, evaluate the amount of medical bills and economic losses, and finally evaluate the disability that results from the injury as it affects the victim’s activities of daily living, including work performance and earning capacity.
A typical “free case evaluation” ad, originating from a Social Security/Disability law firm located in Illinois. Don’t get fooled by this phony tactic!
The personal injury lawyers at the Schmidt Salita Law Team offer a “free case consultation” – not a “case evaluation.” A reliable case evaluation cannot be made without all the work that needs to go into making a reliable evaluation of the value of the case. The Schmidt Salita Law Team will “consult” with the victims of personal injury and review the pros-and cons of the case and often make a recommendation at to whether the case has potential merit and is worth pursuing. Remember this: If a Schmidt Salita lawyer is willing to work on your case on a contingency fee basis, you can rest assured that the case has merit. Otherwise, why would a respected and experienced lawyer take a bad case with only the hope of getting paid for the legal services is the case is successful?
