While it may seem tempting to call the lawyer on TV, this is rarely the best idea. Everyone knows these ads – they often feature a cheesy car accident reenactment and a catchy motto. However, they typically fail to address the experience, skill, and case results of the attorney. Many of these “TV lawyers” are not actually trial lawyers – when they handle a case that requires litigation, they refer your case to a trial lawyer, and will simply take a cut of the fees you’re paying.
Before hiring an attorney based on a commercial, ask them the following:
- Are you the attorney who will handle my case, or will it be a paralegal or junior associate?
- Will you actually fight for me in court?
- What sets you apart from other firms?
- What kind of case results do you have?
There are plenty of TV lawyers out there, but how do you know if one is better than another? How do you know that they are any good at all? At Jones & Swanson, our case results speak for themselves. We don’t just talk about success – we’ve recovered more than $50 million on behalf of our clients. When you retain our firm, you can trust that you are retaining an attorney who is truly committed to your interests.
