Personal Injury

The practice of personal Injury Law is one that is dynamic, with changes coming on fast and constantly. The sophisticated practitioner needs to be “up” on all legislative changes, the ever-changing case law, and the dynamics of the jury trial process. When choosing an attorney to handle a serious matter, do not be afraid to ask him or her if he/she has handled your type of case before, how many times, and to what end result? Also, a fair question for the attorney would be “do you have references?” Past clients can give great insight into an attorney’s ability and responsiveness. At our office, we can supply many contacts who would recommend us without hesitation.

Many firms hold themselves out as “experts” or as being experienced in various fields or myriad types of cases. The proof however, lies in the attorney’s record. If you have a wrongful death case, do you really want to find out that this is your attorney’s first of this type as he makes his opening statement? If you were hurt in a construction accident, would you expect your attorney to have tried dozens of these cases before yours, and to be fully familiar with the rules governing construction safety? The answers to these questions are self-evident. Look at Mr. Chakmakian’s record of “recent cases” as just a few examples of his vast experience in these areas.
