i think there’s a couple of things that
00:05
set us apart from other personal injury
00:07
firms
00:08
one we care more about our clients than
00:12
we care about ourselves
00:13
and we put that foot forward with
00:14
everything we do and the second thing
00:16
is that the trial lawyers here at des
00:19
moines personal injury law were all
00:21
defense lawyers before we all used to
00:23
represent hospitals and insurance
00:25
companies
00:26
so we know the enemy that you’re facing
00:28
from the inside out
00:31
and knowing your enemy is priceless
00:34
it gives it gives our clients a
00:36
priceless advantage
00:38
in the litigation arena
00:44
you know when people ask me what they
00:45
should look for when they’re
00:46
contemplating hiring a personal injury
00:48
lawyer
00:49
the first thing i say is you have one
00:51
chance
00:52
at compensation for this horrible thing
00:54
that happened to you
00:56
so you’ve got to be very careful that
00:57
the person that you are hiring
01:00
to fight for you for this one chance is
01:02
the right fit for you
01:04
that’s different for everybody but at a
01:06
minimum you should find someone who’s
01:08
going to fight for you
01:09
as if they were part of your own family
01:12
they’ve got to put you first above
01:14
everyone else
01:16
next thing you should look for is the
01:17
firm experienced at the kind of case
01:20
that you are trying to bring do they
01:22
understand what the pitfalls are
01:24
have they been through this before and
01:26
you also want a firm that has a good
01:28
reputation
01:29
and is well financed because these cases
01:31
are risky and expensive
01:33
and we’ve all heard horror stories about
01:34
the case that got halfway through
01:36
and the lawyers ran out of money so you
01:39
need trust
01:40
you need competence and you need and you
01:42
need financing
01:44
[Music]
01:48
you can take a look at any of our client
01:51
reviews or any of our client
01:52
testimonials
01:53
and folks consistently tell us when we
01:55
represented them
01:57
they felt like they were part of the
01:58
family like we were fighting for them as
02:00
if we had loved them our entire lives
02:02
that we only cared about them and not
02:04
ourselves and that’s the level of
02:06
service that i expect from myself
02:08
and from every lawyer and every
02:09
paralegal and every assistant that works
02:11
in this firm is when you’re talking to a
02:13
client when you’re taking care of a
02:14
client
02:15
it’s all about them period full stop
