Lawyers win cases, not law firms. You don’t get what you deserve, you get what your lawyer can negotiate. The best lawyers aren’t the best lawyers; they’re the best negotiators: Banksters.
The injury lawyer on your case will have the most significant impact on how much money you get. It’s the biggest thing (that you can influence) in your case. You can’t change your injury. You can’t change the insurance. You can choose your lawyer.
Think of a sports team…do you believe every player is equally good? Of course not. It’s no different with lawyers. Some lawyers perform better than others. This is just like any other profession. You will not have the same money results with different lawyers.
Why it matters? Well, it only matters if you’re looking to get the most money from your accident injury. It could mean the difference of thousands, and possibly, even hundreds of thousands of dollars for the same case.
The problem? You are rarely offered the chance to choose your lawyer. Most injury law firms operate on a “sign and assign” basis. They’ll ask you 17 qualifying questions, then ask you to sign an agreement. Once you sign, you will be assigned to a lawyer of their choice.
Do you believe the law firm will always assign your case to their highest performing lawyer. Of course not. How could they. If they have 10 lawyers at the firm, they can’t give all of their cases to one lawyer. That’s why you need to request the highest performing lawyer, the bankster of the firm.
