AFFORDABLE AUTO INSURANCE Are You OVERPAYING? Zip Code:

Henry Hustle from the GIVE AWAY NOTHING AUTO INSURANCE CORPORATION tried to take advantage of you so you’ve decided to obtain the services of an attorney. Here are three solid insights you should consider:

#1. SMALL LAW FIRM VS. LARGE LAW FIRM: The size of the law firm has absolutely nothing to do with how well he will represent you or handle your case.

#2. COMPARISON SHOP: Talk to friends, acquaintances and/or co-workers who may have been represented by a lawyer on their own personal injury claim. Personal Injury lawyers normally don’t charge for an initial consultation. But, before you meet with them, find out if they do. If the answer to that is “Yes”, than go somewhere else.

#3. PAYING THE LAWYER - THE WRITTEN FEE AGREEMENT”: After you’ve discussed the fact’s of your case you may be able to get some sense from the attorney how much he thinks your case is worth, and how difficult it may be to get the insurance company to pay that amount. (He’ probably won’t commit himself.

He’ll do a song and dance that would put Madonna to shame). Once you’ve grappled with that ask him exactly how much he’s going to charge you for handling your case? It should be a straight “Contingency Fee” (with no costs assessed to you).

Once your financial deal has been agreed upon ask him to put that into writing, into his “Written Fee Agreement”. (If he balks at a Written Fee Agreement you should get up, thank him for his time, and exit that office).
