Do’s and Don’ts

DO NOT DISCUSS YOUR CASE WITH ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ADVERSE PARTY. Obviously, their goal is to act courteously and to use your trust and their expertise to gain valuable admissions from you concerning matters which may seem trivial, but which can compromise or defeat your cause of action. Their goal is also to attempt to settle your case for significantly less than full value.

SPEAK TO A LAWYER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Robert J. Friend & Assoc. does not charge any fee for discussing your case with you. You have nothing to lose, and will, undoubtedly, gain valuable insight.

HIRE A LAWYER. If your case is worth pursuing, a lawyer should be able to significantly increase your recovery, even after deducting the costs of the attorney. How else will you be able to focus on the legal issues involved and be able to properly value your injury and the full effect that it has had upon your life.

HIRE A LAWYER WHO WILL TAKE THE TIME TO TREAT YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL. Most law offices attempt to achieve success with volume by taking on as many legal matters as possible. Robert J. Friend & Assoc. has a record of achieving success by maximizing the recovery on a low volume of cases. We simply prefer to provide outstanding legal representation to fewer clients than to obtain mediocre results for more.
