Do I Need a Lawyer for My Case?
You need a lawyer if you feel you cannot handle the case by yourself. An Orange County personal injury attorney knows how to collect medical records, obtain necessary medical reports, assembled wage loss documentation, and preserve proof of liability. These steps are not impossible for any person to carry out, but they are time-consuming and there are certain nuances that improve the likely success of the case.
As an example, you're general practitioner doctor may have solved your medical problem that does not know how to prepare a narrative report for the insurance company. Doctors notes are usually incomplete.

You were wonderful throughout my case. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the process so that I could feel comfortable. When I was hurt, I really did not know where to turn and Suzanne was comforting and knowledgable. Thanks again for all you did.
