A lot of lawyers advertise. We do and are proud of informing the public of our legal skills and our availability to provide legal services. We try to keep the commercials tasteful and relevant. Of course, we actually are trial lawyers who have presented cases in a courtroom in front of juries for over 35 years. There are lawyers who advertise the they ” will make people pay ” or that they are ” serious lawyers “.  Whenever you spot one of these law firms, know what to ask….Have they actually tried cases ? How many ? Do they simply refer the cases to another law firm and collect a fee ? Do they have a list of satisfied clients who you can call ? Have they handled claims like yours and how many and to what outcome ? Are they recognized by their fellow lawyers ? And most importantly….are you talking to a real lawyer or are you being interviewed by a paralegal or ” intake ” person ? Some of these lawyers never talk to or even see the client !!  Be a wise consumer…Ask the right questions…Shop around….Ask your friends…Research the attorney’s background. Legal matters are serious. You must be serious in selecting the lawyer who is going to be your voice.            Allen
