How do I choose a law firm?

Answer: In choosing a law firm, there are many variables that can go into making a decision such as experience, firm prestige or positive referrals. However, one of the best ways to make the choice is through the consultation process. If the attorney seems distracted or disinterested during the consultation, chances are he or she will be distracted or disinterested through the other phases of your case and act accordingly. You want to choose a firm that has the experience to handle even the largest cases but small enough to treat yours with the time and diligence that it deserves.

How do I get my insurance company to take my claim seriously?

Answer: Understanding the insurance companies is the first step. Insurance carriers love to receive your money every month and sell you different policies. If you want to purchase insurance, it is not very hard to get in touch with someone. If you have an insurance claim, getting in touch with a live person can be a chore.
