Car Accident Lawyer

After an accident, it isn’t always easy to receive the financial compensation necessary to cover medical bills, lost wages, and other costs from the accident. When you add on needing to find a lawyer, it can easily get overwhelming. It can be difficult to know where to even start. Many people stop here because they don’t know what to do next.

If you are searching for a lawyer there are qualities that they should have before you hire them. We’ve put together a list of traits you should look for before hiring someone to represent you.

Experience

No matter what kind of lawyer you are looking for, experience is going to be the most important thing they have. You need to find a lawyer with immense amounts of experience in cases similar to yours. Not only should they have experience with cases like yours but they should also have experience in court. If they don’t, then it is likely they will try to settle out of court because they are not comfortable in the courtroom. You don’t want that. You want someone who knows how to handle your case inside and out of a courtroom.

Compassion

It is critical that you find a lawyer who truly cares about you as a person who has experienced a terrible accident. You don’t want someone who just treats you like a paycheck. Having a lawyer be compassionate towards you is a game changer. It allows the relationship to flow more effectively in the long run.

Determination

Fighting the insurance companies isn’t easy work and they design their tactics to demoralize and discourage those trying to sue them. Your lawyer should be determined enough to push past these delaying efforts without losing hope. This is why you should ask your lawyer about what tactics they use to stay dedicated to your case.

Realism

A good lawyer is going to be honest with you. While everyone imagines a blockbuster settlement the truth is, most of the settlements aren’t that. Your lawyer shouldn’t be afraid to share the facts with you, even the ones that they know you won’t like. Many lawyers will tell you what you want to hear in order to sign your case and get you as a client. A good one will be honest with you, even if it means they lose out on a case. They will be honest with you about your case even if it is a weakness in your case. If the lawyer you are looking to hire is promising you that they can get you a certain amount of money then you should leave. If it sounds too good to be true it often is.

In my opinion, 5 stars isn’t enough for this firm!!

I was very apprehensive about contacting a lawyer for my workmen’s comp. claim. I’ve never had any good experience in the lawyer department. But thanks to Joshua Turim, I have new found gratitude! To say he went above and beyond for me is an understatement. Anytime I contacted him, he answered me lightning fast. Even though my claim wasn’t a huge amount, he still went out of his way to get me what I deserved. If anyone you know needs a great lawyer, Josh and his firm is the place to call!!

Josh made my workers' compensation claim move along with apparent ease and kept the atmosphere casual, yet composed.

He settled my case after many months of preparation and ultimate negotiation, keeping me informed along the way. He knew what I expected for an outcome, and explained every detail in laymen’s terms. Josh took all the time necessary to explain the process. I never felt like I didn’t understand. I recommend Josh to anyone looking to resolve a workers’ compensation claim without additional strain.

I can’t speak highly enough for the work Joshua Turim and his Law firm did for me.

I found him from the Yellow Pages and after consulting with several other of his peers I hired Josh. The fit was right. He’s been my counsel for nearly 5 years now. My case was not an easy one. Workers’ Comp moves slow and methodical. Believe me, I’m thankful I had a professional who is very experienced and knowledgeable about the system on my side. We’ve reached a very good settlement and I know I can continue to count on Joshua Turim should any need arise.
Thanks Josh.
