Don’t risk your future with a subpar attorney! Hire Michael A. Kahn for a better experience.
Unsure if your current personal injury attorney is doing a good job? Look for these three signs that it may be time for a new attorney.
Your Attorney Is Inexperienced
When hiring a personal injury attorney, you need to do more than just make sure they are a qualified attorney in good standing with the state bar. You should look for all the following types of experience:
- Settlement experience
- Litigation experience
- Experience with the type of accident you had
- Experience with your specific type of injury
This ensures that your personal injury attorney will be up to whatever challenges your case may present. If your attorney does not have all this experience, find one that does! Michael A. Kahn is an excellent example of a seasoned attorney with well-rounded experience. He understands the legal principles that apply to all different kinds of accidents as well as the concerns specific to treatment and recovery for different types of catastrophic injuries.
Your Attorney Wants to Be Paid NOW
A quality personal injury attorney only takes cases he or she sincerely believes can be won. Therefore your attorney should have no qualms waiting for you to receive a settlement in order to get paid. If your attorney wants to be paid in advance, you should hire a different attorney. At the Law Offices of Michael A. Kahn, we offer free initial consultations plus expert representation on a contingency fee basis—if we don’t do our job and win you a settlement in negotiations or in court, you don’t have to pay us.
Your Attorney Is Impossible to Reach
One other very important sign you need to get a new personal injury attorney is if you find it impossible to reach your attorney. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?
- Your attorney never returns your calls
- Someone else shows up at your court appearances
- You have no idea what the status of your case is
- You don’t know how to reach your attorney directly (always go through office staff)
- When you do reach your attorney, they don’t answer your questions in a way you understand
All of these are signs that your attorney does not care about you or your case. A good personal injury attorney is patient, compassionate, and always happy to provide you with the information you need and deserve about your case. While they may enlist the aid of their staff to help them do research and paperwork for your case, they should handle the bulk of the work themselves, including all the high-level legal strategy decisions and all your court appearances.
At the Law Offices of Michael A. Kahn, you can expect the very best in legal representation and personal attention every step of the way. Call (310) 209-1600 now to get your free consultation.
