You would think the summer was already here. Every day, The Log in the Cape Cod Times lists three or four serious local car accidents involving everything from drunk drivers and cars crashing into homes. Unfortunately, fatalities and serious injuries from car accidents has become a seasonal Cape Cod occurence.

When these newspaper articles go into the newspaper, something else happens. Lawyers that wouldn't know the inside of a courtroom if they fell into it, send letters out to accident victims soliciting their business. While this may be legal (if done properly and the letter does not take advantage of an individual not capable of making an informed decision), it is certainly offensive. Most responsible attorneys would not even consider engaging in such behavior. Many of the attorneys that send out these letters are merely "marketers" that send the cases to other "real" attorneys on referral.

Our office has "real" attorneys that actually handle our clients' cases and personally respond to their telephone calls and emails. When and if cases don't settle, we will go to trial if that is what's in the best interest of our client.  

Don't be fooled by the lawyer "direct mail solicitors". When you require representation, retain a firm that will give you and your case the personal attention that you deserve.
