“I’ll have to talk to my lawyer first.” We’ve all heard this said countless times on television and at the movies. Perhaps you’ve even heard a friend or relative say it with great emphasis and even confidence. What nobody tells you though is how do you choose "your lawyer.”
There are many resources to help you find a good attorney. Since you’re reading this blog, I’ll discuss the benefits of selecting an expert attorney through Walker & Walker Legal Network at 1-800-THE-LAW2.
Full disclosure: I am a participating attorney member of Walker & Walker Legal Network at 1-800-THE-LAW2. I believe it to be an excellent legal network or I wouldn’t be a part of it. But don’t take my word for it alone.
Here are 7 things you should consider when calling Walker & Walker Legal Network at 1-800-THE-LAW2 or any attorney.
- Each Attorney Is Pre-screened: No matter which of the attorney members in the network you work with, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that they’ve been pre-screened, saving you time and energy researching their qualifications. All the attorney members in the network are licensed to practice law in California. All are state bar members in good standing, have years of experience in their specialty, and carry malpractice insurance.
- Honesty and Integrity You Can Trust: None of the attorney members in the legal network have a record of public discipline in relationship to client matters. All the attorney members will work on your case in a timely manner so that it may be resolved as quickly as possible.
- You Get Choices: Rather than calling a single law firm, which may or may not have an attorney who specializes in your legal situation, 1-800-THE-LAW2 is made up of more than 90 attorney members who cover a range of legal issues and specializations. Whether you’ve been in an auto accident, have been hurt on the job, need a home loan modification, are facing bankruptcy, or slipped or fell in a public place, this extensive legal network has expert attorneys who can help you. Visit the Practice Area on the Web site for a complete list of all the areas of law the attorney members specialize in.
- Affordability: One of the reasons you may not have called an attorney yet is you’re worried about cost. I understand, that’s why generally, there are no upfront out-of-pocket costs for using the attorney members at 1-800-THE-LAW2. Plus, depending on the case, many attorney members in the network will work on a contingency basis. Put simply, your attorney only collects fees (as a percentage of your settlement) if you win your case. This ensures you get a top quality attorney working to resolve your legal situation quickly. And, of course, your call to 1-800-THE-LAW2 is free—because I know every penny counts when you’re watching your budget.
- Independent Attorneys: The attorney members at 1-800-THE-LAW2 will protect your interests above any other obligation, business relationship, or association. In short, your attorney works for you and you alone.
- We’re Here For You 24/7: Auto accidents don’t only happen between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. That’s why 1-800-THE-LAW2 is here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you need an attorney, day or night, one of the highly-trained customer service associates will gather the critical information required to start the legal process that can protect your rights. Plus, all our associates hablan español.
- Results: Since 1985, 1-800-THE-LAW2 has helped protect the legal rights of hundreds of thousands of clients during their time of need.
