Alex Lichtner, an attorney who has worked closely with Ed for years is a former triathlete and serious biker.</p><p>You’ll also meet and get to know our staff well.  While we’re a business and are very serious about our clients’ cases, we also work together closely and you’ll quickly become familiar with us.  We do not accept every case presented to our firm.  We are very selective, and as a result, we are able to offer a level of personal attention unmatched in our business.</p><p>Our firm is built on close relations between Mr. Smith, our staff and our clients. We take pride in getting to know who you are, how you lived your life before your injury and how your injury has affected you, your family, your work, and social activities.<br><br><span style="font-style: italic;">Insurance companies rarely offer fair settlements</span> early in a case, no matter how serious the injury. You are a claim number to them and they’re more likely worry about their bottom line more than your injuries.  We work to fight this mentality.  <br><br>We’re not, by any means, a stodgy, impersonal firm.  You can expect that we will  treat you with respect, help you find support groups to help with healing and understanding, and be by your side all the way....either through settlement or through trial.<br><br>Our offices accept California personal injury cases on a contingent fee basis only.<br>What this means is that we are only paid a fee for attorney services when we actually<br>collect money on a client’s behalf.  The fee we receive is a specific percentage of the money recovered. <br><br>Unlike some personal injury law firms, if we take a case, we do not normally charge a fee on any of the property damage monies recovered. <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">And under no circumstances do we ever net more in fees than our clients net after medical bills and costs</span>. This is not the practice at the vast majority of other personal injury firms.  Our clients’ needs come first...not our fee.<br><br>We’ll be straightforward about the positives and possible challenges in your case and<br>our past clients are always available to let you know their positive experiences with us. Just ask us. </p><p>We look forward to hearing from you. Write or call now and we’ll set up a prompt no obligation appointment.
