After an accident that wasn’t your fault, choosing the right attorney can make all the difference in your recovery and compensation. At the Law Offices of Roderick C. White, we believe an informed client makes better decisions.
Before hiring an attorney, ask these five essential questions:
- What experience do you have with cases like mine?
Different accident/injury cases require different expertise. Look for an attorney who can point to specific examples of cases similar to yours and explain their outcomes.
With over 70 years of combined accident and insurance claims experience across Texas, Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas, our team has successfully represented clients from all backgrounds in auto accidents, workplace injuries, and premises liability claims.
- How will you communicate with me throughout my case?
You deserve an attorney who keeps you informed during this stressful time. Look for clear explanations about updates, your primary contact, and response times.
Our team prioritizes regular updates and is always available to address your concerns in your preferred language. We offer bilingual services to ensure language is never a barrier to justice.
- What are your fee arrangements?
Understanding payment terms is critical. Look for transparency about the fee structure. Most reputable accident/injury attorneys work on a contingency basis—they only get paid if you win.
We work exclusively on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid when we win your case. We’ll explain everything during your free consultation.
- Who will be handling my case?
At many firms, the attorney you meet initially doesn’t manage your case day-to-day. Ask for clarity about who will work on your case and who will be your main contact.
With us, you’ll receive personal attention from experienced attorneys who genuinely care about your well-being. You’ll always know who handles your case and have direct access to your attorney.
- What do you think my case is worth, and how long will it take?
While no guarantees are possible, an experienced lawyer should provide a reasonable assessment. Be wary of attorneys who promise specific amounts or unusually quick resolutions.
We provide honest assessments based on our extensive experience, carefully evaluating all aspects of your claim—from medical expenses to long-term impacts—to determine its potential value.
Making Your Decision
Trust your instincts. The right attorney makes you feel comfortable, respected, and confident in their ability to represent you.
You deserve representation from professionals who understand your unique situation and community challenges. Whether you’re concerned about language barriers, time away from work, or bias in the legal system, your attorney should address these issues with cultural sensitivity.
