People contact me and ask: why did you take the time to write and publish a book on Virginia car accident cases that you give away for free to Virginia residents?

Here’s the answer:  

 I’ve been in practice representing Virginia accident victims since 1983.  I’ve seen it all. I am sick and tired of insurance companies taking advantage of people before they have a chance to talk to an attorney. For years one major insurance company encouraged claimants to not hire an attorney.

You may not need an attorney to represent you in your case but you should be armed with some good information, right from the beginning of your claim. I wrote this book so that you can be informed, today. (And maybe you won’t ever need to talk to a lawyer.)

I am also sick and tired of outrageous lawyer advertising where lawyers with a reputation for handling hundreds of cases at a time make promises that can’t be kept or equate your injury to “cash, cash, cash.”  I am also tired of lawyers who file frivolous lawsuits, because frivolous lawsuits hurt everyone by delaying real claims from getting to court.

Most attorneys require you to make an appointment in which you would get some of the information that I have provided here. I believe that you should be able to have this information, right now, and without any pressure. The hiring of an attorney to represent you is a very important step that should not be taken lightly.

Frankly, this method of talking to you also saves me time. I’ve packed a ton of information into this book and it saves me the hours of time that it would take each day just to talk to all of the new potential clients who call. I cannot and will not accept every case and, frankly, each year we turn down good cases that simply do not meet our case selection criteria.  So, rather than cut you short on the phone, writing mt book gives me a chance to tell you what you need to know so that you can make an informed decision about what steps to take with your case. Even if I do not accept your case, I would like you to be educated about the process so that you don’t fall victim to the insurance companies.
