Choosing the Right Lawyer | The Legal Update

Video Transcript

Hello, I'm Ron Rodriguez, and welcome to this week's legal update. It’s important to understand that choosing the right lawyer can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. While you can’t change the facts of your case, you can choose a lawyer who is board-certified in personal injury trial law—someone who can investigate, analyze, and present those facts in the best possible way to achieve the best result. Don’t be misled by lawyers who invest heavily in advertising. Often, these lawyers have little to no personal experience in preparing and presenting cases to a jury. Before hiring a lawyer, consider asking these essential questions: (1) Are you board-certified in personal injury trial law? (2) How many jury trials have you personally handled as lead counsel? (3) How many cases have you won versus how many have you lost? (4) Are you board-certified in civil appellate law and skilled in affirming final judgments in the court of appeals, if necessary? If a lawyer cannot provide reassuring answers to these questions and lacks board certification as a specialist, you may want to reconsider hiring them. I am the only dual board-certified specialist in this area, certified in both personal injury trial law and civil appellate law. With a proven track record in jury trials and appellate courts, I deliver the exceptional legal representation you deserve and have come to expect from your personal injury law firm.
