I NEVER GET A CALL BACK FROM MY FLORIDA ATTORNEY, IS THIS RIGHT?

First, no it is not right. Second, we know why that is happening. Is your case with a law firm that does a lot of advertising?

Have you ever noticed that advertising law firms only talk on TV about the cases which were a great success, but they never tell you what the average recovery is?

If your injury case is with a billboard and TV advertising law firm your case is likely assigned by a case number and not by your name. Last year we interviewed ten people to add on an additional person to our staff, and we got it down to ten applicants to interview. 6 of those 10 applicants were each handling 200 cases by themselves. These applicants were not attorneys and they were not even paralegals. They were claims handlers working for various high-volume law firms. One person stated she would get 10 new cases every day. So that is 50 new cases every week. There is no way one person can keep up with that kind of volume.

But also, is that one of the law firms you want working on your important injury incident case? Would you want your doctor to operate that way? The truth is: the reason you are not hearing from your attorney is they do not have the time to contact you—and they may not even know much about your case. Do you want a claims handler determining the outcome of your case? One who is not even a paralegal?

At www.FightingForFamilies.com we do not assign case numbers to our clients. They are known here by their name. At www.FightingForFamilies.com we have a team approach to handling client injury cases. We have talked to some of the clients who call to find out if they can drop their present attorney and get us to represent them. First, the Florida Bar Association which governs the conduct of attorneys in Florida states that it is the choice of the client as to who represents them—and that is true even if the first law firm has had the case for quite a while. The choice is that of the client—not an attorney. One client who came to us from a high-volume law firm and confided that in six months he had never spoken to the attorney. When we asked who he had been speaking to about his case, he replied “I have tried to talk with the paralegal but she is usually too busy to talk, so I have to just talk with the receptionist when she is not trying to answer multiple phone calls”.

You do not have to settle for that. Ask yourself these questions honestly:

• Do I ever get to speak with the attorney?
• When I call in does it seem like there are new people assigned to my case?
• When I call does it seems like I have to re-explain things we have already discussed?
• When I call in it seems like the case is in the same position it has been for months.

The Florida Bar says you determine who represents you, not an attorney. The choice is yours as to who represents you in your personal injury case in Florida. At www.FightingForFamilies.com we do not assign numbers to our clients, we know them by their name.
