Merry Christmas from the Silly Blog!
To all of the readers who have tolerated the rambling of an old trial lawyer dinosaur who clings to the outdated objective of the “best” way to select the services of an attorney is based on experience, truth and trial results rather than glitzy, high priced and often “deceptive” media advertising!---
1. In spite of our negative comments towards a few lawyer advertisers we still believe the best way to select an attorney is to first contact any lawyer that you have previously used in the past and trusted and give them an opportunity to handle your case. If they don’t handle that type of case, they certainly can refer you to another reputable lawyer, not just a media advertiser.
2. Lawyer advertisers are not “experts” just because the self-promoters in the media claim to be “Board Certified.” Said designation only means they have expressed a desire to handle certain types of cases and have passed a one-day test and participated in a certain number of trials and court proceedings that satisfy the minimum requirements to obtain board certification as a civil or criminal lawyer. It is no guarantee they are better qualified to handle your case than a non-certified attorney.
3. Talk to several lawyers before you make a decision as to whom you intend to use to handle your case. In spite of the panic sounding messages conveyed by some self-promoters in most cases you will have sufficient time to talk to several lawyers before you make a selection.
Good health and Happy Holidays from the Silly Blog!
