There could be a variety of reasons why a particular client or case is not a good fit for your firm. A client may live outside of your service area, or you are concerned about the financial or time demands the case will put on your practice. Whatever the reason, you still hate the thought of turning a potential client away—and you still want the client to have the quality representation he or she deserves.
Helping You to Help Your Clients
GriffithLaw is honored to accept referrals from lawyers nationwide, offering our skills and resources to benefit both your client and your professional reputation. As a tried and tested personal injury firm, GriffithLaw routinely works with fellow lawyers to provide injury victims with the quality representation they need.
A few reasons lawyers may refer their cases to us:
- They do not handle personal injury claims.
- They practice law in a different state or are not admitted to the Tennessee bar.
- They do not represent clients with the type of injury the victim has suffered.
- They do not have the staffing or resources to devote to the case.
- They prefer to collaborate with an injury lawyer to gain more experience in certain types of cases/injuries.
- Taking the client’s case could cause a conflict of interest.
- They need a second pair of eyes on a particularly complex case.
Fair Co-Counsel and Referral Fees Policy
GriffithLaw realizes that by the time you contact us with a client referral, you’ve likely put a great deal of thought and effort into the case in question. Our firm respects that time and contribution. Not only is GriffithLaw happy to pay the applicable lawyer referral fees outlined in the Rules of Professional Conduct of the State Bar of Tennessee, but we will also be mindful of any accrued case expenses and existing liens.
Why should you choose GriffithLaw?
- Trial experience. John Griffith has spent years fighting on behalf of car wreck and personal injury victims in Middle Tennessee and does not hesitate to fight for his clients in court. As a well-respected trial lawyer, John Griffith regularly conducts jury focus groups to prepare for court and was honored by the Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association with the Outstanding Trial Lawyer of the Year Award.
- Insurance adjuster insights. Before forming GriffithLaw, John Griffith worked as an insurance claims adjuster, giving him insider knowledge on the tactics insurers use and how to battle the opposition to get a favorable outcome.
- Ability to step in at any time. While we often start working on cases from the beginning, we understand that referrals can happen at any point during the case process. We have the ability to accept cases at any point, from initial consultation to mediation, settlement negotiations, or in later stages of litigation.
- Professional and financial resources. We have formed close relationships with experts to help prove vital matters in an injury case, and know where to invest our time and money to go toe-to-toe with well-heeled insurance companies.
- Fair payment of fees. If you decide to refer the case to us (or co-counsel with us), we will work out a shared fee agreement at the beginning of the case, outlining our role and responsibilities.
- It costs you nothing. Our lawyers do not charge injury victims to learn about their options, and the same goes for our fellow lawyers. If you think your case could be a good fit for us, we can discuss a potential referral at no cost to you.
If you are referring a case to GriffithLaw or seeking a reputable law firm to co-counsel with you, you can count on us to work diligently and secure a fair financial award for the client.
