A lot of people don’t think that their car wreck is worth hiring an attorney over. Maybe their injuries “aren’t that bad,” they don’t think the insurance claims process will be difficult, or they just don’t like the idea of hiring a lawyer for a simple wreck.

I’m asked that question (“is it worth hiring you for my car wreck claim”) all the time, even by close friends and family. Honestly, it is a little awkward, because, while I don’t want to sound self-serving, but at the same time, I know the complications and traps that arise during an insurance claim and want to protect my friends and family.  So, my answer is always the same: “Let’s have a free consultation and you can decide from there…no pressure.”  And guess what? After going over the ins and outs of their car wreck claim, they usually decide that hiring us is the right way to go.

I can’t speak for all law firms, but at Flattmann Law, we promise:

No Hassle, Fast Consultations:

There is no reason that a free consultation should cause anxiety! Our consultations can be as simple as a 10-minute phone call, zoom call, or meeting at our office. It’s up to you.

When you call us, we will get general information from you about the accident, what happened, if there were injuries, the extent of car damage, etc. During a quick phone call, we can usually tell you if hiring an attorney is a good idea for your case.

No Pressure To Hire Us, Ever:

We will never hassle you or pressure you into hiring our firm. After our consultation, if you think you can handle the insurance claim on your own, no problem! We will even tell you our honest opinion of whether your claim rises to the point of “needing an attorney.”

We Are Still There For You, Even If You Don’t Hire Us:

We believe in providing outstanding service to our community. Even if you decide not to hire us, if we can answer some of your questions and help you succeed on your insurance claim, we are happy to do so.
