There are differences between law firms. However, it is often difficult or impossible for the accident victim to judge or differentiate between personal injury law firms from their websites, media advertisements or other published solicitations. Advertisements reflect the quality and skill of the adverting agency or web designer, not the law firm and rarely provide any basis for evaluating the ability or integrity of the law firm or lawyer.

What all of these lawyer ads have in common is that they never mention exactly how much the advertising lawyer charges. And that is important because the greater the percentage the lawyer charges, the lower the percentage of recovery that the accident victim will receive.

The State Bar of California and the Utah State Bar require attorneys to place an advisory in every retainer agreement that attorney fees are negotiable and not set by law. But lawyers usually don't emphasize that fact so most personal injury clients never even try to negotiate fees. The simple fact is that if a potential client has a good liability personal injury case, most experienced and qualified attorneys will discount their fees rather than lose the case to a competitor, but only if asked.

The Law Offices of David Laurence Altman and CaliforniaUtahPersonal InjuryLawyer.com are different from other law firms. We offer reduced contingency fees without asking; we provide a full and complete range of legal services for our clients at rates that are more affordable than other law firms. And we itemize our fees on our website for everyone to see. Remember, when comparing experienced personal injury law firms the only true difference may be the fees charged by the attorney.

Accident victims should not be influenced by lawyer advertisements that seem to offer exceptional services when in reality those services are indistinguishable from the services offered by every other personal injury law firm. Visit any personal injury lawyer website or watch any lawyer video or television advertisement and you will see and hear one or more of the following:

• The lawyer offers a free consultation
• The lawyer offers a no recovery, no fee guarantee
• The lawyer will come to your home or hospital
• The lawyer will advance all costs
• The lawyer will arrange for vehicle repairs and vehicle rental
• The lawyer will refer you to a medical provider who will not expect payment until your case is settled

These ads make it appear as if the law firm is offering truly special and unique services for the accident victim, but that is not really the case at all.

• The truth is that virtually all personal injury lawyers offer free consultations.
   
• The truth is that all personal injury lawyers accept cases on a contingency fee; if there is no recovery the lawyer receives no fee. After all, a 100% contingency fee of a zero recovery is still zero.
   
• The truth is that virtually all personal injury lawyers will arrange home or hospital interviews for any serious personal injury case.
   
• The truth is that virtually all personal injury lawyers advance costs, including filing fees and the costs of litigation.
   
• The truth is that all personal injury lawyers arrange for vehicle repairs and vehicle rental as part of their duties in handling a personal injury case.
   
• The truth is that all personal injury lawyers work with doctors who will defer payment until settlement of the claim.
