This Law Firm understands that the number one priority of clients is to hire quality counsel to represent them. The number one priority of those attorneys hired must, at all times, be the client. Other major priorities are that those attorneys keep their clients informed, at all times, of the progress of their case, work efficiently so as to keep costs reasonable, and draw the case to an equitable conclusion.
Cases generally reported every 30 days, sooner if significant developments warrant.
Clients are information assets, and are entitled to be informed of all important developmentsand factual basis of any dispute including but not limited to:
We will evaluate the issues of law in the case and how they bear upon the client's case. Statutes of limitation, strict liability and contractual liability will be addressed along with other pertinent issues of law.
We will identify all plaintiffs, defendants and cross-defendants and their counsel of record. In addition, we will provide a summary of those parties' involvement in the lawsuit, and whether they are still in operation or in bankruptcy. We will also report whether these parties have insurance and, if so, to the extent possible, the identities of the insurance companies, policy periods and applicable coverage.
We will relate whether there is any chance to shift liability to other parties including Indemnity agreements and Insurance agreements.
We will discuss what experts we believe will assist our defending the client, their level of expertise, specialty, credibility and demeanor. We will also report the identities of the other parties' experts and their areas of expertise.
We will discuss the settlement potential of the case, and the potential contributions by the other parties. We will report what settlement discussions have taken place, the exposure to the insured, and our future settlement strategy.
We will discuss our tactics regarding the resolution of the case, that is, what the best way is to resolve the case on behalf of our client, and if the case is not going to settle, the reasons therefore.
Attorney fees can be a client's second largest expenditure (the largest typically is what the client has already lost in the matter at issue). This office is keenly aware of a client's need to control costs, and we have adopted certain billing practices and case management techniques to meet this goal.
