Are any of the common misconceptions about lawyers true?
Being lawyers,
we know and understand the stereotypes against us from the general
population. Some of you may have actually met the select few lawyers who
fit those stereotypes of being dishonest, scheming, and money hungry.
For that, we apologize for the bad taste they have left in your mouth.
The lawyers here want to change your perceptions and show you that we
really do care for you the person, while representing you the client.
Chances are, if
you need to consult with an attorney your circumstances are not good;
you have been injured, victimized, and/or wronged in some way. We
understand that you are already in a vulnerable state and reaching out
for help in that condition is difficult; the last thing you need is what
the general population perceives a lawyer to be.
Here’s what you
do need; a person aggressive, driven, and passionate enough to fight
for you or your loved ones rights. That’s where representing you the
client comes in. Being in a legal battle is not easy. It’s time
consuming, demanding, and can sometimes strip you of your privacy and
normal way of life. In the area of personal injury law, insurance
adjusters will call you nonstop, hounding you to settle, bullying you
into answering questions that, by law, you are not required to answer.
It is a lawyer’s job, once you have selected them to represent you, to
protect you and take all that pressure and stress away from you so you
can get your life back in order after whatever event has placed you in
this circumstance.
Of course, we
do make a profit, but that’s another part of representing you the
client. The Pisanchyn Law Firm works on a contingency fee, meaning that
if we win your case, we will get a portion of the settlement, if we do
not win your case, we get paid nothing. Technically speaking, our
services in the area of personal injury are completely free to you,
because you never have to pay out of pocket for our services. As you can
see, the interests of you the client and us the attorneys are aligned,
so you know that we will stop at nothing to get you what you deserve.
What you also
need is a support system; a group of caring individuals that know you’re
going through a difficult time and only want to make it easier for you.
That’s where caring for you the person comes in. Sometimes it’s hard to
turn to family or friends when going through a legal ordeal. Though you
shouldn’t, it’s normal to feel ashamed, embarrassed, or even at a loss
for words or emotions. A lot of times victims of personal injury cases
lose their faith in people to a certain degree because of how horrible
they are treated by the negligent doer, the insurance adjusters, and
depending on the circumstances of the incident, people who were once
friendly to them. We deal with these emotions and feelings with all of
our clients, you don’t need to tell us, we understand.
The Pisanchyn
Law Firm has made it a priority that all our clients are treated with
respect, care, and are welcomed into a friendly environment. Our staff,
paralegals, and attorneys all want to help you in any way we can. We’re
here 24/7, seven days a week to listen to whatever you have to say, even
if you just want to chat. We want to be your lawyer for the rest of
your life, not just for this case and we know that to accomplish this
task a personal relationship based on trust must be made. This takes
time, time that we enjoy devoting to getting to know you and time that
we also devote to defending you and getting you what you deserve.
We believe that
this attitude is the attitude of a true lawyer, the kind of lawyer you
should base your perceptions off of. We urge you to get to know us, ask
us questions, look through our website, give us suggestions, call or stop by our offices to see what a real law firm is all about; whatever you need to separate us from the ill-fitting stereotype we have been given.
