Whether your firm is stretched too thin or you simply do not have the expertise to take on catastrophic plaintiff cases, choosing a co-counsel partner can greatly strengthen your ability to effectively litigate such cases. The Virginia State Bar even encourages partnering with co-counsel for matters outside of a lawyer’s comfort zone.
The decision to retain another firm to assist with your serious injury cases can be the best and easiest decision you will make. Complex facts, challenging legal issues, and the responsibility of representing a catastrophically injured client require focus, determination, and resources. The time commitment required by such cases can be difficult to manage, especially as you and your staff continue to serve other clients. These cases are time-consuming and can take years to resolve.
When you bring on a co-counsel partner, you are choosing a firm to help you share the demands of your case, both financial and intellectual.
Partnering with Allen & Allen
With more than 100 years of experience and a focus on personal injury law, Allen & Allen handles cases in Virginia and nationwide. Over our long history, many personal injury attorneys outside of our firm have become our partners. These attorneys recognized a need. Some were looking for more resources to help sustain a long and costly battle on behalf of their client in a medical malpractice case. Others were looking for an expert litigator to assist in the courtroom with the rigors of a trial. And some contacted us with the intention of referring to us the big case that was taking them away from their other clients – clients who were depending on them.
At Allen & Allen, we are willing to offer the support you need to ensure the best possible outcome for your client.
