Finding the right lawyer: like finding shoes.
How Do You Find the Right Lawyer for Your Oklahoma Personal Injury Case?
Today, we’re going to talk about pick the shoe that fits. Pick the shoe that fits. What in the world is this guy talking about? My name is Mike Ashworth, a personal injury attorney in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I’ve been doing this since October 6, 1983 in different areas. I’ve been a prosecutor. I’ve been an insurance defense attorney. I worked for the insurance companies. I’ve been a plaintiff’s attorney, which I am now, suing on behalf of people that get hurt. So, today, we’re going to talk about how do you pick the shoe? What shoe?
You see all these ads on TV. Some very good lawyers advertise on TV and billboards and things like that. Are they the right fit? And what happens if you find a lawyer you really, really, really like and you trust and you want to work with them, and they’re in a law office where they might need some additional resources to do it? What do they do? Do they go out like in the NFL and draft talent? Not so to speak.
The Importance of Collaboration and Building the Best Legal Team
But what they do is, it’s not uncommon for law groups to collaborate, to partner up to build the best legal team for you. So for example, I have a lot of background in nursing home cases. I used to do a lot of insurance defense cases. I did a lot of administrative enforcement of nursing home cases. So I might have a lot of expertise. Someone might be out there that has all these wonderful resources, but they may not have someone that has that knowledge. So they might call me up and say, Mike, let me bounce this off you. Could you help me out a little bit? Or I might do the same.
I might have a case where I sit there and say, I know how to do this legally, but I might need some resources in terms of skilled people that have these particular skills that would make us a better legal team. Oh, I know who that is. That’s my good friend, lawyer so-and-so. So I call up my good friend, lawyer so-and-so, got a case I might want to work with you. What do you think? Let me bounce it off you. And we decide that we can build a really good legal team. So we might be the shoe that fits. You meet me first. You think, hey, he’s a nice guy. He knows his stuff.
So, and he says, this is our team. And I would introduce you to your team. As a matter of fact, I’m doing exactly that this afternoon, taking some, a wonderful lady who lost her husband recently. And we’re meeting with someone that has some resources for that particular case that will amplify or supplement and strengthen our team.
