Time, experience, and skills. Those are three of the most important factors you must consider when hiring a car accident lawyer in South Carolina or a workers’ compensation lawyer in South Carolina.
Time
You want a lawyer who spends that time fighting for you while working in the office or in a courtroom. You want a lawyer who has the time to talk to you, learn about you and your injuries, and build up your case to argue to the insurance company or jury.
DSB Law Firm takes great pride in being an honest and aggressive law firm that spends time fighting for its clients – regardless of the size of the case.
That kind of attention can make a real difference. When your lawyer actually knows your case, you’re not just another file; they can respond faster, prepare better, and catch details that might otherwise get missed.
Experience
You want a lawyer who is not afraid to be in the courtroom. Insurance companies take notice of those who are not afraid to go to court and those who are. We’re not afraid to take a case to court.
We have gone before South Carolina Judges and Workers’ Compensation Commissioners hundreds of times on behalf of their clients. We have recovered over $40 million for our clients and have the experience necessary to take on insurance companies and their lawyers.
That experience doesn’t just help in court. It can also influence how insurance companies approach your case from the very beginning.
Skills
Third, you want a lawyer who has the ability and skills needed to present your case clearly and convincingly. Very few types of lawyers have spent more time in a courtroom than state prosecutors.
Several of our attorneys have served as former state prosecutors in South Carolina. They’ve represented the State of South Carolina in front of countless Judges from all around the state.
During that time, they developed trial skills that they use not only in jury trials but also in mediations and hearings. Having a lawyer with those skills is extremely important when looking for a lawyer who will fight for the justice you deserve after a car accident or an injury on the job.
Being able to present your case clearly matters just as much as the facts themselves. It’s often what helps those facts actually land.
