Question:

How do I select the best Southwest Florida car accident attorney?

Answer:

When selecting an attorney for your car accident case in Florida, what you want to look for is someone who is devoted to their practice in auto personal injury and to representing people who are injured in accidents. You need to ask the hard questions that separates a good attorney from a great attorney: are you board certified, how many cases have you actually taken to trial, have you actually handled a case like mine, do you have the staff to make sure my case is moved along quickly through the process, are you held in high esteem with good reviews?  Next, something that you need to look for is someone who practices in the area that you’re located in that is familiar with the doctors, and judges, and other attorneys in that area. We have legal offices close to you to make it easy.  Do you really want a lawyer who isn't in SW Florida to assist you in this very important time after an auto accident?  Thirdly, you want to find an attorney who has the ability to litigate and try your case if necessary. There are many lawyers who will send your case to another firm if the case can't be settled in pre-trial.

Just the other day, we were meeting with a client who unfortunately was seriously injured in a motor vehicle crash and explained to them that those are all things that we could help them with.  Since 1962 we have devoted our practice to personal injury and representing people who are injured in motor vehicle accidents. Goldstein Buckley is local to southwest Florida, we are not based somewhere else in the USA with just a satellite office, or no office at all.  We live here. We have all our offices here, and practice here, and are familiar with the judges (both federal and local Lee County, Collier County and Charlotte County judges), SW Florida doctors, and other attorneys in this area.  You may even catch us eating at one of your favorite local SW Florida restaurants sometime.

Most importantly, we will absolutely litigate and try your case if that’s what’s necessary to get you fair compensation. We are not afraid to stand up against any of the auto insurance companies to make sure you are taken care of. Sometimes insurance companies don’t always treat people fairly. It’s important to have an attorney who is able to litigate and try your case if that’s what’s required. Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice, Purtz, Smith & Smith, P.A. is the GOLD standard and has the experience you need to win!
