What Your Lawyer Wishes You Knew: We are on Your Side! Deborah Nelson+ January 1, 2020

We are on Your Side!

Sometimes, we hear jurors say that “the lawyers for both sides were in on it together” as if they were conspiring against the client. That is a myth, especially on contingent fee cases. For most personal injury cases, we represent people on a “contingent fee basis” which means we don’t get paid until you get paid, regardless of how much work we have done along the way. Because we get paid a percentage of what the money we are able to recover for you, this also means that the more money we get for you, the more we earn. More importantly, we take our duties as your lawyers seriously. We ARE on your side.  

For this reason, it is really important that you tell your lawyer everything. Tell them what you are worried about. Tell them what you fear. Ask them questions. And, be sure to tell them anything that might harm your case. When we have all the information, it makes it easier for us to protect you. You can trust your lawyer. After all, we are on your side.
