Changing Attorneys Won’t Cost You Extra in Legal Bills
At the Law Office of Cary Woods II, we hear from many prospective clients who are unhappy with their current attorneys. However, prospective clients may feel apprehensive about switching attorneys because they aren’t sure whether their overall legal bills will increase if they hire a second replacement attorney. We can reassure you that changing legal representation in a personal injury case is not a recipe for increased legal bills.
In personal injury cases, attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. Contingency means that if we don’t win, there is no fee. Of course, we fight each of our cases to win. If we win, you pay your lawyers a percentage of your recovery. If your previous attorney did work on your case, they may be entitled to receive compensation for their work. But that doesn’t mean that you pay extra. Their compensation comes out of the percentage of recovery. In other words, the total contingency fee is shared between your former attorney and our firm. That means there is NO penalty to you for changing attorneys.

Move Your Case Forward More Quickly and Efficiently
When injury victims become unhappy with their lawyers, that sense of lost confidence often arises because the case moves very slowly, communication is poor, or you feel the case is not on track to obtain the desired result. Switching attorneys, especially to someone with more experience and knowledge, can jumpstart a case. First, the new attorney puts fresh eyes on the case or claim. They may notice key facts that have not been highlighted or build evidence of additional damages. Second, the new attorney can use their knowledge and experience to figure out how to move the case along more efficiently. They may decide, for example, that filing a lawsuit will send a stronger message to the insurance company than making repeated and unanswered settlement demands. The Law Office of Cary Woods II has done it before and can do it for you!
While the specifics of resolving your case depend on the individual facts, our firm prides itself on efficiently and strategically pushing cases forward.

Again, our founder Cary Woods II’s experience defending big corporations comes into play because he knows how businesses respond when facing personal injury lawsuits.
