Are all lawyers the same?

A: Unfortunately, not every lawyer can handle every kind of case, even if they say they can on a television commercial. The fact of the matter is, you should choose your lawyer only after you are convinced they will not pass your case off to another attorney if the case doesn't settle quickly. You should also be certain that the lawyer knows enough about your type of case. For example, my firm does not handle divorces or wills or speeding tickets (we don't know how, but we do know several lawyers who do and we can give you their names). We don't handle these cases because we choose to stay abreast of the law in other areas and know we can do a much better job on case with which we are familar, that is why we limit our practice and the number of cases we will handle. If you are not sure whether your case fits in one of our practice areas, please call us. We'll be happy to tell you and, if we don't handle your type of case, we'll be happy to recommend someone if we can.
