Video: Speak Directly To Your Attorney

Question:

How do I get to speak with a lawyer about my accident?

Answer:

Do your research on the type of firm you want to hire. Choosing the right law firm after an accident makes a big difference in being able to speak with an attorney about your case. With very large firms you will not normally speak with an attorney, you will be speaking with a legal aid or personal injury claims analyst. The larger firms may not even be based out of your local area, something to also consider. The staff you speak with will decide if your case has merit and then decide if you will get a chance to speak with an attorney. If you choose a small to mid size firm your chance of speaking directly with an attorney increases. When you consider a smaller firm make sure they have the resources to support the level of case you have. Not all firms have the size and funds needed to take on larger companies and/or big insurance. Also consider that not all firms are able to take cases to trial for you if needed. At Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice, Purtz, Smith & Smith, P.A. we have both; the personal touch of having our clients speak with an attorney right away during the pre-trial portion of the case and the financial resources to battle the biggest insurance companies. We are your local SW Florida injury attorneys near you, not a satellite office for a large firm based in another area of the country. You can always speak with your GBC attorney, that is how we feel everyone who has had a personal injury should be treated. Whomever you hire, make sure to consult a personal injury attorney who specializes in personal injury cases to review your specific situation.

Question:

Can I hire the actual lawyers I see on TV?

Answer:

If you hire Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice, Purtz, Smith & Smith, P.A., yes! Our firm has been helping clients in Southwest Florida since 1962 get justice when injured. You will see our co-managing partners Christopher and Andrea Smith on TV, billboards and even online. When you hire our firm, you will get a chance to speak with them, meet with them and get legal guidance from them. Ideally, you want an attorney who will be able to litigate and try your case if necessary, not just a celebrity TV lawyer. You need an attorney who understands personal injury, the system and is able to potentially try your case if needed. Many do not realize the importance of it, but make sure someone is representing you and your interests throughout this process because insurance companies do not do that. If you have any legal personal injury questions, our attorneys are always happy to answer any questions that you might have with a free consultation. We are just a call at 239-500-4878 or a CLICK away to help you with an attorney consultation.
