Don’t Believe These Myths about a Legal Representative

When an injured worker considers pursuing workers’ compensation benefits to cover the costs of injuries and the time needed to recover, they may want to turn to an attorney for help. After all, attorneys can help a person polish their claim and fight the denial of an initial filing. However, there are many myths or half-truths people may believe about attorneys. This article is meant to correct some of the most common of these misconceptions.

Myth: Results are all that matter.

Truth: Many attorneys like to brag about how much money they’ve won for their clients. However, you need to consider the bigger picture. What do testimonials say about an attorney? Do they really care about their clients, intending to put in the long hours and hard work, or are they all about the money?

Myth: An attorney who charges more upfront must be confident that their services are worth it.

Truth: By no means does charging more upfront signal that an attorney is more capable or likely to win a case. At Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., we don’t make you pay unless you win compensation. To us, you’re not just another paycheck waiting to file a claim. You’re a real person with real needs, and we just don’t think it’s right to take legal fees if your needs aren’t meant.

Myth: If a client wants to learn more about their case, they shouldn’t bother an attorney about it.

Truth: With the advent of the digital age, many people turn to the internet as a resource for any question or concern they may have. While there are plenty of great resources out there, no website is going to be able to give you personalized information and advice. Our attorneys are standing by to help you better under the details of your compensation claim.
