Well, that is more of an obvious statement, but rarely you get to compare lawyers with the same facts in front of them, right? Well, I got that chance, not just with one other lawyer, but two. My first two were quite interesting to say the least. Especially the second one - they did not have my best interests at heart, and I felt (and probably was) as if I was another cash source in their pipeline of cases. Many a time, I felt they were potentially colluding with the auto insurance company against whom my claim was - just so they could close my case - and felt like I could never truly trust them. Any offer they got, they would parrot the line - "this is a great offer, and is the best your type of injury would get, without filing a lawsuit, etc.". I knew better - and you should too. Communication was lacking - and the attitude was worse. A bit of arrogance, carelessness with the case file, does not listen properly, etc. So, to make it short, I fired them. Then I handed the case to Kevin Etzkorn. He's what I would call a humble shark. He listens exceptionally well, and is very comprehensive in his documenting ability. And from the first days until a couple short months later when the settlement was arrived at, I was always kept upto speed about the progress. He found numerous inaccuracies and incomplete data in the case file that was transferred to him, and straight away found some money that was owed to me by my own insurance company. And the negotiated final settlement from the auto insurance company was about 4- 5 times the original amount offered to me by my first two lawyers. The entire process restored my faith in this industry - with the caveat that if I need representation again, I will be asking Kevin. I cannot recommend him and firm high enough.
