Bengtson has told me several times that his goals with clients are to treat us in such a way that we come back to him and refer people to him. He has delivered on that for me. He got a very crappy injury case of mine in a package deal from the attorney I'd originally hired to represent me in it several years ago. That one finally settled and had nothing in it for me. Low policy limits and ongoing pain from it because it was a side hit, I didn't know what I was doing and took forever to get treated. Total mess. Bengtson was nice about it, and I asked what to do if I got into another accident (really when, because I drive a lot). I got into another accident. This one had a semi that caused it. I called a couple of other lawyers to shop around, settled on him because I'd always been able to get questions answered by his paralegal. When I came in for the initial consultation he gave me a $3000 check from the case with no money it it. He'd promised to give me something out of it when it was being mediated, but basic arithmetic said I was getting zero so I hadn't bothered to check back. He DOES NOT use an answering service! So if someone picks up they actually work in the same office (there's a paralegal who works for another lawyer &/or a guy who works reception who pick up the phone occasionally) The semi truck case settled recently and that was a life changing check for me. (Partly because I'd wisely let all needy @$$h03$ exit my life without letting them know I was getting anything good out of the accident) But I haven't had to work since it showed up. And I bought my own place with it too. It was near the bottom of what Bengtson said my case could bring in, but it was plenty so I was fine with it. He indicated we could definitely go to court if I wanted, and I think that did have a somewhat higher likely payout for me.
