Is she or he empathetic and willing to put the client’s interests first? Is there a realistic and reasonable assessment of the case or pie in the sky promises. Will the lawyer add value to your case? These are important factors when deciding to hire a personal injury and wrongful death lawyer.” ~ Paul
