what sets the bennett law firm
00:06
out as different from other firms is our
00:08
compassion
00:09
and our understanding of our clients
00:11
mental health
00:12
physical and otherwise disabilities
00:15
vulnerabilities
00:16
and making sure that our clients know
00:18
that we’re here to assist them far
00:19
beyond the case
00:21
my focus is to not only advocate for a
00:23
client in court
00:24
but make sure that when they’re on
00:25
probation that if they stumble even just
00:27
a little bit
00:28
and they’re either violated first for
00:30
their probation issue
00:32
or they’re just not sure what to do that
00:34
they don’t think they need to
00:35
rush and deal with it through probation
00:37
they can call me and i can give them a
00:39
quick piece of advice to get them into a
00:40
good place
00:41
and making sure that my clients feel
00:44
comfortable in my office
00:46
i do everything i can to make my office
00:47
feel more like a home dining room table
00:50
or a home living room
00:51
as opposed to a stuffy shiny office that
00:54
makes people
00:55
a little bit more uncomfortable i think
00:56
that is the biggest thing that sets me
00:58
apart
01:03
i think the biggest thing to look for in
01:05
hiring an attorney is how you get along
01:07
with them
01:08
it should be similar to how you pick a
01:10
doctor how you pick almost any
01:12
profession that you want to help you
01:14
you need to have a meeting with them in
01:15
person if possible you need to get to
01:17
know them you need to
01:19
ask questions about their fee structure
01:22
about how they will approach the case
01:24
about their experience and their
01:26
knowledge of the specific case area
01:29
that your case is in and i think that is
01:31
what really
01:33
gets sets me apart as it comes to
01:35
picking an attorney is
01:37
you don’t get a 20-minute consultation
01:39
you get a one-hour consultation
01:40
whether it’s via phone or via an
01:43
in-person meeting or now via zoom
01:45
i think that that is the best way to
01:48
choose an attorney is based on your
01:50
personalities being able to get along
01:51
with somebody
01:55
