REASON ONE: Experience.
We've been fighting for the rights of injured workers and consumers since 1976. In our office, you will find people who care about their clients and who aren't afraid to fight for those clients. When choosing representation, you need to make sure that your lawyer actually goes to trial with his client's case if there is no satisfactory settlement. Many lawyers allow the insurance companies to dictate the terms and refuse to vigorously litigate when needed. Most cases can be settled without filing suit, but you need to know that you have an experienced trial lawyer on your side should a lawsuit be necessary to obtain a reasonable recovery. We have recovered MILLIONS of dollars for our clients. Insurance companies and their lawyers respect aggressive attorneys like Christian & Davis who have a proven track record of trying cases to verdicts for injured clients. That respect means better settlements in the majority of cases that do not go to trial. Experience definitely counts.
REASON TWO: First Consultation is Free.
Your first consultation with Christian & Davis is free. Often your attorney can answer your injury case questions right on the phone or via e-mail. If we feel we can help, we'll meet with you quickly. We'll explain your rights in plain language and answer your questions at no charge. If you hire us, our fees and costs will be provided in writing.
REASON THREE: No Win? No Fee.
If we don't win your injury case, there is no fee. We work on a contingency basis. That means there must be money received for your injury or we do not receive a fee. Frequently, injury cases result in settlements rather than trial and jury verdict. If that happens in your case, we'll explain where that settlement money will go, including any amount "in your pocket" before you approve it. If there is no settlement, we discuss filing the case in court with you. If the jury verdict would be zero, our fee is zero. We work harder for you, because that's the only way we are paid.
REASON FOUR: No Cost Up Front.
You pay nothing up front. When you hire Christian & Davis, we advance the costs of preparing and presenting your injury case. This is not always the case with other firms. Many law firms require the client to pay the costs of collecting information, preparing the evidence and other expenses. This can amount to hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars. Our willingness to advance these expenses shows our commitment to you.
REASON FIVE: We Care.
Christian & Davis demands caring and compassion from all who work at their office. Our office is staffed with legal professionals dedicated to serving our clients' legal needs. We take pride in knowing our clients personally and even make it a point to assist you with other problems related to your injury. Since you're the most important person in our office, we listen carefully to what you have to say.
REASON SIX: Technology.
Christian & Davis uses the latest in computer and communications technology in order to streamline the process of legal research and courtroom presentations.
REASON SEVEN: Loyalty.
Loyalty means a lot. Christian & Davis loyalties are to you... the injured victim. We don't represent insurance companies. We don't represent manufacturers of dangerous products. We don't represent big business. We represent people just like you... and we wouldn't have it any other way.
REASON EIGHT: Continuing Legal Education.
Christian & Davis voluntarily spends thousands of dollars yearly on training and seminars that improve our legal knowledge. We stay up-to-date. You get representation that is well informed on the latest applications of the law.
REASON NINE: Home Consultations.
We know that injuries can make travel difficult. If you can't come to us, we'll come to you whether you are laid up at home or in the hospital. In some instances we can even open a file for you over the phone or via the internet.
REASON TEN: Personal Service.
You'll talk to an attorney... not a claims processor. From your first call to the settlement or jury verdict, you'll have an experienced attorney working on your file along with our experienced staff of legal professionals. Message To Attorneys:
We often receive referrals from other lawyers. Frequently, people are injured in South Carolina while traveling and they retain lawyers at home who often need assistance filing or negotiating a case in our state. We frequently receive referrals from South Carolina-based lawyers as well, particularly when there is a unique situation, a death or critically injured client. As a matter of practice, we always establish a working relationship with referring lawyers which contemplates a reasonable splitting of attorneys' fees that complies with all applicable ethical guidelines. We happily accept referrals for both large and small cases when there is sufficient verdict potential.
If you are contemplating outside counsel to assist in the representation of a worthy client, Christian & Davis would like to discuss the case and explore the possibility of our working together. You can reach Harold Christian or Ric Davis by phone ( 864.640.4272) or by sending a note to hchristian@Christiananddavis.com or rdavis@christiananddavis.com.
