I often read in our local news media outlets in Corpus Christi, Texas and the surrounding areas about men, women, and children in our local community who are the victims of unfortunate and serious personal injury as a result of the gross negligence of corporations and as the result of automobile accidents, trucking accidents, drunk driving accidents, and work related accidents, and those who have lost a loved one as the result of wrongful death.
Often the news media outlets report these terrible accidents hours after they occur.
I have sincere compassion for my family, friends, old and new, and the people in our local community whose lives are forever changed by tragic circumstances such as described.
This is why I became a lawyer, to serve my clients, to promote justice and fairness to those who need legal help in times of such tragedy.
However, I must advise, with all sense of justice and fairness in my being, that if you or your family are the victim of such tragedy, and you receive any form of unsolicited communication from an attorney attempting to entice you to hire such attorney to represent you with respect to your personal injury case after such a tragedy...
Just Say NO! Again, Just Say NO! I do not believe in calling, mailing letters, or personally contacting any victim of a serious accident, nor will I ever do so, other than a very close family member like my mother, father, sister or brother.
If attorneys contact you in such a manner after you or your loved ones have been seriously injured in an accident, I plead that you JUST SAY NO to solicitation from attorneys.
I recommend that if you need legal help in a time of tragedy, that YOU choose who to contact for help.
It comes down to one simple TRUTH...
if you are at a tragic point in your life due to a serious injury to yourself or a loved one caused by the negligence of another party, such that you want the best personal injury attorney possible to help you or your family, do you really want to hire a lawyer who contacted you in your time of grief? Do you really want to trust an ambulance chaser to handle your case? Or do you want to hire an ethical lawyer who stands by INTEGRITY, COMPASSION, AND EXCELLENCE - a lawyer who values his client's best interest at heart over the "number of cases" the lawyer is able to sign! I hope you and your family remain safe.
But remember this message in the many years to come!
