When you are injured and need a personal injury lawyer, how should you select one that you can count on? A lawyer with experience? With integrity? With a great track record?
The last thing you want to do is to go to the lawyer websites, billboards and advertisements and listen to what they say about themselves!!!
THE INJURY LAWYER PLYMOUTH understand what makes a great trial lawyer- a great litigator. That is true because an injury victim can have a great case but with a weak trial lawyer, the value of the case is weak. In short, the value of any personal injury case is measured against the value that a jury will award at trial. With a weak trial lawyer, the jury verdict will generally be weak. With a strong trial lawyer, the jury verdict will generally be strong.
The same is true with settlements. Insurance companies will not offer maximum value if they know that the injury lawyer handling the case is not a great trial lawyer.
Professional sports teams, whether football, baseball or basketball, keep detailed records on the win-loss records, the scoring averages, and the many statistics of their opponents. Insurance companies do the same they know very well the quality of the trial skills of the personal injury lawyer representing the injury victim.

In fact, insurance adjusters soon learn which lawyers that represent injury victims are “playing straight”. And they respect that. They are typically willing to offer more money to settle a case because of the trust. Conversely, they are not willing to offer “top dollar” when they are suspicious of the claim. It is important that insurance adjusters feel that the case that is being presented to them is an honest one. For that reason, the honest and well-documented settlement demands submitted by the Schmidt Salita Law Team have credibility that results in fair settlements for the Schmidt Salita clients in most cases.
Judges also quickly size up the lawyers that have cases in their courtrooms. They respect the lawyers that are “playing straight”. That trust goes a long way in forwarding the cases of the Schmidt Salita lawyers when their cases go before a judge and/or jury.
The personal injury lawyers at the Schmidt Salita Law Team have earned that trust. They are AV rated by Martindale Hubbell which is the most respected rating system for lawyers. The “A” stands for legal skills. It is the highest possible rating. The V stands for ethics and professionalism. Again, that is the highest rating.
Schmidt Salita Law Team’s senior trial lawyer Douglas Schmidt has held the AV rating for 35 years-most certainly one of a very, very small number of Minnesota personal injury lawyers with that rating.
It is extremely important that there be a strong relationship of trust between the client and the lawyer in any personal injury case. It is important that there be a strong “teamwork” between the client and lawyer. The Schmidt Salita Law Team works very hard to develop and preserve that relationship. The client reviews that rate the Schmidt Salita Law Team as a perfect 5 star rating provide strong evidence in that regard.
