Is there any reason that I should not hire the lawyer that I saw on a t.v. commerical or that sent me a letter in the mail?
The fact that a lawyer does a lot of t.v. commercials or sends you a slick letter does not necessarily mean they will provide you the best representation. In fact, many of the lawyers that do t.v. commercials do not handle cases that need to be filed in court, which is most cases these days. They have young, relatively inexperienced lawyers on their staff handle those cases or they refer them to outside attorneys with the needed experience and expertise. They handle large volumes of cases, sometimes inadequately, and force clients into settlements. Most of the best attorneys do not actively solicit clients, sometimes referred to as ambulance chasing, but instead get their clients through referrals from people that they know and who know they are experienced and expert, not just at handling cases, but also successful in trying cases to juries when needed.
