Do I Need An Attorney? Attorney At Law

Rinehardt Law Firm of Mansfield, OH

Serving Clients Throughout Ohio

When searching for a lawyer, you may wonder if you even need an attorney. It is important to ask yourself… for something this important, is it smart to try to go it alone? The Rinehardt Law Firm of Mansfield, OH knows the pros and cons of hiring an attorney.

Pros:

• I will have someone on my side fighting for me and looking out for my best interest. I will not have to worry about the insurance adjuster pulling the wool over my eyes.
• My lawyer will stop the insurance adjuster from bothering me with phone calls and letters. With my attorney taking care of the paperwork nightmare, I will be able to concentrate on putting my life back together and recovering from my injuries.
• I can get rid of my stress because I will have someone to stand up to the insurance company and its high priced lawyers.
• When it comes time to settle my case, I will have someone who will know what a fair settlement of my case should be.
• If the insurance company won't be reasonable, I have someone who will go to court to make the insurance company do what is right.

Cons:

• As with any professional, my doctor, my dentist, and even my mechanic, my attorney will have to be paid. But, with the contingent fee contract, I only pay when I win my case by paying a percentage of the award.

If I hire a lawyer does that mean my case will have to go to court?
In the majority of the cases that we handle, the insurance companies pay before we take them to court. Settlements occur when the insurance company offers a large enough sum of money to provide you with fair recovery. Sometimes the insurance companies refuse to make a fair offer. When the insurance company won't pay, we take the case to court.

What if I started handling my case on my own but now I think I need a lawyer?
It is not too late to hire a lawyer. The sooner you hire a lawyer, the faster your attorney can start protecting you and putting together the evidence needed to win your case. Better late than never.
