Many Maryland personal injury law firms advertise extensively and expensively and as a consequence they take far too many cases to actually provide individualized attention to clients.
This can be a problem because no two cases are alike and injured people oten have important questions. Like how to pay their bills when they can't work due to their injuries.
These questions are often addressed effectively by paralegals and administrative assistants but sometimes more nuanced and experienced thinking is necessary, which is why you hire an attorney in the first place.
We hear stories of clients calling their lawyers dozens of times without ever speaking to their lawyer and without a return call.
So how do you avoid such issues? The answer is simple. Test your prospective lawyer's responsiveness before you hire them. See whether when you call a nearby law firm you can actually speak to your future lawyer or whether you are sloughed off on someone else.
If you can't speak to a lawyer ask that one call you back and if you don't hear back from a lawyer, it's a safe bet that if you hire that law firm you'll never hear from your lawyer when you need him or her.
Hire a lawyer who is invested in you and your needs. Not one just trying to pay for their ads.
