How did you build a successful practice?
A case where I made a difference in the recent past involved a factory worker who was off work due to an injury and not receiving medical care or lost time benefits. He was the sole breadwinner for his family and their situation was dire. I got him to a network of physicians who treated him on spec and got benefits started. He recently was able to return to work and I got him a significant lump sum settlement.
I built a successful practice through word of mouth from former clients and referral attorneys. I also have had cases referred to me by doctors who were familiar with my work and even defense lawyers and insurance adjusters who knew that I would zealously represent their friends and family members who were hurt on the job.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
I think the main thing clients should look for in a lawyer is communication. Too many attorneys think they are too busy to call or email their clients. I think it is the most important part of the job. Local knowledge is also important. I have learned over the years which doctors are good and which ones are to be avoided, and have developed a network of top-notch treaters who are patient and worker-friendly. Very often a good physical recovery is more important than the monetary settlement.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
I do free phone consultations during which I convey information about the process and what a reasonable outcome might look like. What I need from the prospective client is information about how and when the injury occurred, the position of the employer, and the nature of the treatment received.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
What sets me apart from other lawyers is the degree of personal involvement in my cases. I left my old firm where I was the senior partner in 2006 and started a solo practice. When a client calls my office to speak to a lawyer, they get me and not some bored associate. I genuinely like and appreciate my clients, and their gratitude at the conclusion of a case is the most rewarding part of my job.
