...settling, or trying the case. Contingency fees can be earned, in personal injury, insurance bad faith, medical malpractice, premises liability, industrial injury (“deliberate intent”) and professional malpractice. But not in family law matters such as child support, alimony, or equitable distribution. Innovative lawyers are unbundling services, using credit cards, and coming up with other innovations in order to remain relevant to the legal consu...

Our Recommitment to Excellence 2021

...ralegal training, and watch Letetia mature into one of the finest personal injury, civil, and family paralegals in the state of West Virginia. Recently, we have begun “digging down“ in the ways to manage the vast amount of medical information we receive regarding our injury clients. In a world in which every billboard shouts about the well-dressed lawyers fighting the “evil adjusters”, caring more about the clients than the other guy, and guarante...

Free E-575 page e-Book – Absolutely Everything I’ve Written in Four Years!

...surance coverages, the fundamentals of family court, the myths of personal injury law, or how to organize the facts in your case, I believe my writings can be very helpful. As for my personal views, they are very strongly held, but they are backed by a great deal of reading and thought. Argument is my way of life, so I will be happy to discuss any of them. I try not just to criticize or whine. I want my writings to be: Educational; Useful; Accurat...

Photographic Literacy: Ideas for the Small Firm Lawyer or Intelligent Lay Person

...s have ever been successfully challenged. I photograph many of my personal injury auto accident scenes, even supplementing my accident reconstructionist. When I meet the clients early enough, I photograph my clients’ injuries. It is shocking how poor the photos are that clients’ family, or even police officers, take of such injuries. I photograph my inspections of real estate. Recently, I was pleased I could provide to my three sibling clients, sh...

Robert M. Morris; a Lawyer for Others to Emulate.

...be of service. It was as if our firm still existed. He would call me about personal injury, family, and civil matters, and, after he became assistant prosecuting attorney, I would call him on juvenile, criminal, and real estate matters. Bob was honest, caring, smart, meticulous, dutiful, serious about his craft, witty (especially at serious moments such as funerals), diligent every day of his life, well-liked by colleagues, friends, and family, bu...

2013 New Year Resolutions

...ed against us. 15. We must continue to try to have our share of the pie in Personal Injury litigation, insurance litigation, “deliberate intent” litigation, medical malpractice, and products liability. Lawyers throw a lot of advertising money at these endeavors, for the obvious reason there is money to be made. We have a unique combination of experience and connections with the best lawyers in the state and will continue to “toot our own horn”. 16...

You Aren’t Going to Mediation! (Now what will you do?)

...awyers, but lay people may benefit. Let’s keep something in mind. Personal injury and civil mediation are different from family mediation. People are representing themselves in family court perhaps 70% of the time and somehow surviving. There are mandatory forms, parenting classes, and a form of “one size fits all justice”. I do not recommend it, but it’s happening. I have dealt with self-representation (pro se) in family court elsewhere. Short an...

The Lawyers’ “Golden Rule” for Sheriffs’, and Private, Process Servers

Personal injury, family law, and civil dispute lawyers often have to file lawsuits and serve papers on opposing parties. Here is a simple rule every lawyer should remember: Provide to the person serving the paper, the critical information he or she needs: 1. A valid physical address; 2. Directions to the residence; 3. Information about the person’s employment; 4. Home, cell, and work phone numbers; 5. Tips as to when that person may be available,...

Keys To Success – A Competent Staff

...of the people? 4. I won’t embarrass them by mentioning names, but I have a personal injury and civil matter paralegal, a family law paralegal, a receptionist/timekeeper who enters my innumerable billing entries, and my office manager, wife, and best friend. 5. I cannot work successfully with an employee unless she (yes, almost always she) is a. smart; b. efficient; and c. compassionate. 6. People with those qualities almost always join in the humo...

What If I Hire a Divorce Lawyer

I was tempted to cover my family law, personal injury, and civil trial practice in one article. That will not work. They are different, and deserve their own space, as does the mediation process. Today, I focus on the process of hiring me and achieving your “fresh start” in life via divorce. For reference, you may want to read “Divorce 101 – Handout, Oct 5. 20111 – http://tinyurl.com/b4h7ggw . Here is how it goes: 1. I WILL discuss your case with...
