What is the truth about injury lawyer advertising?  I am out of state in another large city for depositions.  While in the hotel room, I looked at the attorney ads in the yellow pages.  As expected, there were pages and pages and pages of lawyer ads.  Guess what?  They were all just like the pages and pages and pages of injury lawyer ads in Las Vegas.  We are aggressive.  No fee is we do not get you a settlement.  We will get you the money you deserve.  And, of course, there are lists of past results obtained.

All I can say is what a bunch of wasted paper and ink.  None of the ads really told you anything about the attorneys.  The ads did not give any useful information about the services that would be provided or how a person’s claim or case would be handled.

If you are looking to hire a Las Vegas personal injury attorney, and you are a thinking person, you must be really frustrated.  What a waste of time to look in the yellow pages.  Are the web sites any better?  Not really.  Just another form of advertising with little or no useful information.

What can you do?  My website gives practical information and is not just an ad for my firm.  Our information pages tell you how to avoid getting hurt and steps you can take to help keep you and your family safe.  Our pages regarding specific types of injuries and cases give you practical information about the issues involved and what you will encounter and what you can expect.  We have a page of frequently asked questions where I try and provide you with answers to common questions.

Not enough information?  Contact my office.  I will send you a copy  of my free book The Ultimate Consumer’s Guide to Nevada Car Crash Cases.  That book gives you detailed information about injury claims.  It tells you how to handle your own claim if you want to.  Here’s a secret, not everybody and every claim needs or requires an attorney!  My book tells you what to do.  Step by step.  It even provides you with forms that you can use and that you will need.  It also tells you how to go about finding the right lawyer for your case if you cannot or do not want to handle it yourself.

In the end what should you do if you are frustrated with the lack of information in the lawyer ads?  Call and talk to a number of lawyers.  Interview them to see who will treat you the best and with whom you are most comfortable in placing your trust.  Remeber, you will never receive better treatment than when they are looking to get your business.  If you did not feel you were treated right, move on.  Find a lawyer who takes the time to talk to you and treats you the way that you expect to be treated.
