Why Should Someone Choose a Local Lawyer Over a National Firm?

I think it’s really important to choose a local personal injury law firm over these national law firms that you see advertising on TV. Although those national law firms may, you know, beat their chests about their experience, their results, their resources. Really, these are massive firms that have many, many thousands and thousands of clients. And it’s important to have a local firm that can actually spend the time with you to understand how this has affected you, what happened, how this is going to affect you in the future, how it affects your family.

To make sure that they conduct really thorough investigations, they know all the local players, they have good relationships with the local defense attorneys, and that they can really put together your case so they can get you maximum compensation at the end of your case. You know, take it from somebody who used to work at a really big national law firm. It’s very difficult to fly out to different clients in different cities all across the country and spend the amount of time that is necessary to understand their case, investigate their case, prepare them for their depositions, keep them updated. It’s very difficult. So, it’s really important to hire that local firm who can spend the time with you that’s necessary.
