If you have experienced major injuries in an accident, you are not alone. Many people have had something like this happen to them. I should know, as I am one of those people. The recovery from accidents and serious injuries can be long and difficult, and that recovery is not just physical. Emotional, mental, and financial areas of recovery all have to be dealt with, as well. Through my experience, I have developed an understanding of what it takes to recover and what clients are facing as they move through that process for themselves.

My clients and staff are all treated like family, and I use a holistic approach that you are probably not going to see from any other Brooktrails car accident lawyer. I do that because I know that kindness and compassion are very important when you are recovering from a serious injury, and I make sure my team focuses on that each and every day, with each and every client. Kindness throughout the recovery process can make all the difference.

If you have lost a loved one to an accident or fatal injury, there is pain that can often go beyond words. Those who are left behind may feel overwhelmed, even with day to day activities and requirements. On top of that, there are questions about recovering damages, making funeral arrangements, and other issues. The stress that puts on a person is not easy, but I want to be able to make it slightly less painful.

When you are in that situation, you should know that I am here to help you. You will have a Brooktrails auto accident attorney on your side, who you can trust to guide you through the process of financial recovery. That can help you focus on the other areas of recovery, so you are less overwhelmed and have the time to take care of yourself and others properly.

Brooktrails is home to just over 3,200 people, and not many car accidents or other serious injuries occur there. But they can, and sometimes they do. There are only 7.3 square miles that make up the town, and in that space, there are roadways, businesses, and public areas where injuries and accidents can occur. Brooktrails started out as a logging area in the 1880s and eventually moved toward a vacation retreat for those in San Francisco. There are lakes and hiking trails, coffee shops, stores, and more in the quaint, small town.

I live in Sacramento, and I work there, too. So why would you hire a Brooktrails personal injury lawyer who isn't in Brooktrails? Because you want an attorney, who can give you value and quality, and the care you need for your case. Attorneys like me move to big cities so they can grow their businesses with a larger client base. It helps me keep my firm running, and allows me to do more for my clients.

Additionally, I am very particular about the cases I take, and my location allows me to specialize so I can help you as much as possible. If it's hard for you to travel, call me. We'll figure out a place to meet that works for us.

You or a loved one needs strong legal representation to recover financially from serious injuries. However, coming up with the money for legal fees is not always easy. I work on a contingency basis, which means I only take my free when I resolve your case successfully. If I cannot get a successful resolution to your case, you will not owe me anything at all.

Attorneys always advertise their services, and they make promises about big payouts for injuries and accidents. It is not hard to say that they have a high rate of success, but that could also mean they settled a lot of cases -- quite likely for less than their client might have deserved to receive. My cases are not successes unless my clients get compensation to fully recover physically, financially, and emotionally.

Am I the right attorney for you? That is a decision only you can make, but you want to be sure you get a quality attorney even if you do not choose to work with me. Here are some of the things you should think about when you select a Brooktrails personal injury attorney.

Know That Attorney's Experience

The area of personal injury law is a complicated one. Any attorney you choose should have experience handling cases like yours. Without experience, and without arguing cases in court, that attorney may not really be able to give you the help you need.

Look at That Lawyer's Settlements and Verdicts

Attorneys generally put their verdicts and settlements on their website for potential clients to see. If your attorney is not offering that, ask about it. You want to be clear on the successes your potential attorney has experienced.

Make Sure You Read Reviews About That Attorney

Reading reviews helps you decide if an attorney might be a good choice for you. While not every review may be accurate, you should quickly see a pattern in what clients are saying about a specific attorney.

Know if Your Lawyer is Established

Any attorney you choose should be established, as that means they will have the financial ability to take on larger cases. Pursuing a case can be expensive, and even more so if it goes to trial. Your attorney needs the right resources to help you.
