Our last blog discussed the client who didn’t want to spend the money to hire a lawyer despite the fact that he was really injured, had lost time from work, and had extensive medical bills. That got us to thinking about how prospective clients view hiring a lawyer. For many people, just the thought of suing someone causes distress. Over and over, we hear people tell us that they are not ” sue happy”….as if exercising your legal rights is something to be ashamed of. If you think about it, where does that idea come from ? Bingo ! The massive propaganda of the insurance industry. It seems incredible but the insurance industry has actually made seeking justice a bad thing  and something to fear. Here at Schulman  Zimmerman we try to allay those  concerns. There is nothing wrong with pursuing your legal rights…that’s why our system of justice is the envy of the world. In addition, most cases are settled out of court. Lastly, when we believe in a cause we will accept the representation on a contingent fee ( a % of the settlement ) and that assures you the right to a top flight legal team with a history of success without you paying a steep ( and, for most, unaffordable ) hourly fee. Moreover, all your litigation expenses are paid for by us….if you lose,  you owe us nothing ! The next time you worry about hiring a lawyer, call us. Your legal rights are our prime concern. You deserve a lawyer on your side
