Greedy Trial Lawyer
No More Guarantees
Category: Why Didn't I Think Of That?
It stopped me in my tracks when I read Top Ten Things To Look For In A Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury Attorney.
For years, potential clients have asked me, "Mr. Greedy Trial Lawyer,how much is my case worth?" And, for years, I have been responding, "I can guarantee you it is worth millions but only if I handle it." I thought cockiness was the front-end of competence. Who would want to hire a cautious, timid soul unable to immediately put the value of claim into a mega-buck slot? After reading this article I may leave off the guarantee part.
ASK THIS QUESTION TO EVERY ATTORNEY YOU SPEAK TO: How much is my case worth?Why? Because there are some attorneys who will claim, on your very first visit that your case is worth a ton of money- some even say "Millions!" Others are not so cavalier, and take a more cautious approach.
If a lawyer tells you your case is worth Millions, ask him to put that in writing. Why? Because no lawyer can promise or guarantee any outcome to a client. Watch what happens when you ask that lawyer to put his 'guarantee' in writing. He'll quickly backtrack and make some excuse for not putting it in writing. Be careful of an attorney who makes such promises without thoroughly knowing all the facts of your case, and without having reviewed your records.
