Why should you hire us

Hiring the right personal injury attorney is tough. How should you pick the attorney and what attributes should you look for? It will be no surprise to you that we fit these attributes, but you may find it surprising how important they are!

Of course you want an attorney that can take your case to the courthouse and win it for you. However, the attorney must do more than take your case to court. You should prefer an attorney that can get your case settled, for full value, without going to court. It costs money to go to the courthouse, and submit a case to a judge or jury. There are risks in any trial.

How does a lawyer avoid court AND get full value? The way to settle a case is to work it up properly, right from the beginning. Many lawyers do little on a case until weeks or a month before trial. The opportunity for settlement at full value has passed. This type of lawyer does a disservice to their client.

At Allen, Flatt, Ballidis & Leslie, we start right at the beginning to prepare your case. We conduct the necessary investigations, speak to witnesses and make sure that liability is favorably preserved. We then collect the necessary medical bills and records to advocate your full settlement. We hire medical experts to render opinions on causation and injury related to the incident. We do not guess at your case value, but methodically analyze it among the many cases we have tried and settled, to advance a good result for you.

Who do you think an attorney or insurance company would rather face, an ill prepared attorney or one that knows his case? Our cases settle because we know the case, the law and advocate so that the insurance company knows they will likely lose. Therefore insurance companies feel compelled to settle our cases.

Furthermore, It is not enough in today’s environment to be a good lawyer. You also need a good staff. When a client has an issue, it is more rewarding to speak to a staff that is knowledgeable and reliable. Our senior non-attorney staff has been with the office for over 10 years. We believe that keeping good staff happy is good business practice and also increases the service to our clients.

Lastly, we are always looking for better ways to advocate our cases for our clients. Most attorneys keep up with the minimum standards of continuing education. Each of our attorneys participates in seminars, course work and litigation support far in excess of the minimum standards to make sure that we are on the cutting edge of jury attitude changes, settlement practices and carrier motivations. We are also a leader in advocating outside the law office with such recent efforts at health insurance reimbursement reform, and personal injury victim rights protection. Several of our attorneys write for legal journals or columns and we remain progressive in our attitude.
