1. The most important question we can ask you is: What do you want? Only by knowing what you want, can we help you get it. It is the most important question we ask you. Back to Top2. It is our responsibility to tell you the reality of your situation It is not our responsibility to tell you what you want to hear. Beware of the lawyer that does. You pay us to give you sound legal advice, so that you can make the most informed decisions regarding your case. Back to Top3. You may have a family member, friend or acquaintance tell you what they got on their injury claim or how much they think your claim is worth. Do not be swayed by a layman's opinion concerning your case and the law. The truth of the matter is that each case and claim is unique. You need a lawyer who will honestly evaluate your case and then advocate for you to ensure you receive the proper remedy for your claim under the law. Back to Top4. Just because you were injured on someone else's property does not mean you are automatically entitled to recover damages. There is no liability without fault. The party against whom you seek recovery must have been negligent, and such negligence must be a proximate cause of your damages, before your lawyer can recover for you. Back to Top5. Always talk to your lawyer first. If you are injured in a car accident or a slip and fall on another's property, talk to us before you speak to the insurance representative for the party that injured you. They are interested in trying to get you to say something that will prejudice your claim against them. If you are arrested, talk to us before you talk to anyone else. Don't help the police make a case against you. Back to Top6. You should always be able to communicate with your lawyer. He or she works for you. However there may be times when your lawyer is not available to speak to you. Remember if your lawyer is to easy to get a hold of, he or she is probably not busy enough. Take advantage of the availability of your attorney's staff - they are there to assist you and relay your concerns to your attorney. Back to Top7. Consider the benefits of a living trust. Unlike a will, which must go through probate proceedings, a living trust can accomplish your estate plan without probate, and the accompanying costs of probate (attorney's fees can be 3 - 5% of the estate). With a living trust, you can be the trustee of your property while you are alive. Back to Top8. The type of business entity that will best serve your needs is dependent upon a number of factors. Tax implications are always important to consider. Consult with your accountant as to the full tax implications of the business entity you wish to establish for yourself. One of the primary benefits of a cooperation is the shield it provides for you from being help personally liable for the debts and obligations of the business. Back to Top
