A study by the Insurance Research Council found that injured people using lawyers in personal injury claims received MORE money than those without lawyers. And this is AFTER paying the lawyer's fees.

Lawyers also bring value to a case by finding all possible insurance for your recovery and when necessary negotiating your medical bills and liens.

Your Lawyer: Get Advice

Do not take advice from anyone other than an experienced lawyer. Don't listen to your friend or neighbor about what you should or shouldn't do.

How do insurance companies and adjusters operate?

Please remember: an insurance company increases profits by reducing the amount of money it pays out in claims.

Every insurance company employs experienced defense attorneys, who operate behind the scenes, and whose sole responsibility is to protect the financial interests of the big insurance company. Insurance companies are in business to make money, and the less they pay out on claims, the greater their profit margins.

• How fast you drink. In general, the quicker you drink, the higher your peak BAC will be.

• Your body size. Large people tend to reach lower BACs than smaller people, given the same amount of alcohol.

• Food in your stomach. When there is food in your stomach,alcohol is absorbed more slowly into the blood stream. The BAC rises more rapidly when you drink on an empty stomach, because there is no food in which to dilute the alcohol.

SHOULD A LAWYER CONTACT YOU AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT?

The short answer to this question is absolutely not.

To me this is harmful to all attorneys and is sad when it happens..

It is a violation of the Rules of Professional Responsibility for a lawyer or lawyer’s representative to contact you after a car wreck.

Over the years I have heard from many injured that have told me that a lawyer called them at the hospital or at home, or at work, or on their cell phone right after their car accident.

How To Start A Charity:
BUILDING A PRESENCE IN YOUR CITY
Howard recently published a book to help other attorneys improve their own communities. The book is entitled "Building a Presence in Your City" and it shows Lawyers everything they need to know to get started with their own charity.

There are many "bonuses" that a charity can provide for your law firm. These include giving your law firm name recognition, media exposure, and enhancing your reputation with the public, the business community, and the medical community.
