Should I Call A Lawyer Referral Service to Find an Injury Attorney?

Should I Call A Lawyer Referral Service to Find an Injury Attorney? | Personal Injury Attorney News | Scoop.it
If you have sustained physical injuries in a Florida auto accident, lawyer referral services may appear to be an attractive option.  In the Tampa Bay area, advertisements for 411-Pain and 1-800-Ask-Gary run all day long on local radio. ...
Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

When you think of a referral service, a company like Angie’s List probably comes to mind.  Many referral services in differing lines of business assist prospective consumers in finding the best available option based on quality.  The quality of services offered by each company, is often determined by consumer and peer reviews. 


Lawyer referral services in the State of Florida offer no such assurances.  In fact attorneys or law firms registered with 411-Pain or 1-800-Ask Gary possess no special qualities or abilities that separate them from their peers who have opted not to be associated with a referral service. In fact, 411-Pain was sued by the Attorney General’s Office for the State of Florida for several practices that were deemed misrepresentations to auto accidents.  http://motorcyclecrashflorida.com/dolman-law-blog/view/5-411-pain-agrees-to-settlement-with-attorney-general.html

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

We have all heard the recent commercials in the bay area from lawyer referral services explaining the importance of treating within 14 days of the accident.  A recent 411 pain advertisements features a non-attorney spokesperson stating that "you must treat within 14 days of your accident, or it just doesnt't matter."  What is the truth behind this?
