Why hire Evan as your San Diego Personal Injury Lawyer or San Diego Property Damage Lawyer?
- You will NOT be ignored. Evan handles all aspects of your case and will not pass you off to a secretary, paralegal, or junior lawyer.
- You WILL be informed. Client communication is key. Evan promptly returns client’s calls, emails, and texts. And he provides constant client updates about the case.
- Your time will NOT be wasted. Evan handles your claim with precision, determination, and confidence. Time will not be wasted.
- You will hire an attorney who is KNOWLEDGABLE. Evan spent years working for insurance companies and he knows what to do and what to avoid when dealing with them. Clients should hire an attorney who has practiced law on both sides of the “fence.”
- You will hire an attorney who is HONEST. Evan strives to be straightforward and earnest with his clients. He will not overpromise and is upfront with his fees. Evan will focus on the client’s best interest. And he will realistically assess what can and should be done.
Consultations are free. Personal injury claims and most property damage claims are done on contingency. That means Evan is not paid unless you win. Evan’s success is tied directly to your success.
If you don’t hire a lawyer you’re on your own. You will face insurance companies alone. You must deal with important deadlines on your own. And you must navigate the legal system’s confusing array of rules and procedures on your own. It’s hard to go at it alone.
It’s better to contact a San Diego Personal Injury and Property Damage Attorney who can give you a free consultation about your case. It’s better to have an attorney by your side who can battle the insurance companies and help navigate through the legal system. The right attorney saves both time and money.
