Our passion is personal service and winning! We don’t just say personal service. Our clients know they can call anytime, as often as they want, or just to say hello without worrying about bothering us.

We’re nuts about winning, yet we don’t like risk. That’s why we prepare our cases so well, as you can see below. We prepare to win, and when that happens, we can get more money, increase the likelihood of a full-value settlement instead of a trial, and settle cases faster.

How We Prepare Your Case to Get the Most Money for You

• • UMBRELLA INSURANCE — We can’t trust the insurance company to admit if there is umbrella insurance coverage! We know how to search for umbrella insurance, and we obtain a written report showing if an umbrella insurance policy exists.
  • MEDICAL RECORDS — We use an outside company online to Get your medical records faster. They constantly harass hospitals and doctors, by phone and fax, to get your medical records and email us a link to download your medical records when they become available.
  • MEDICAL RECORD REVIEW — We have doctors review your medical records and provide us with a comprehensive medical summary for litigation and settlement.
  • SETTLEMENT PACKAGE — While other lawyers spend money for your case at the time of trial, we spend it early to put together an impressive settlement binder with the evidence showing the defendant’s negligence; your injuries; jury verdicts in other similar cases to show the value of your injuries; many other items such as present net value computations; and where appropriate a medical illustration, 3D color medical images and video of your X-Ray, CT scan or MRI. This helps to obtain a settlement of your case for full value before depositions or at trial.
    
    
  • When appropriate, we create 3-D color images of your x-ray or videos from your CT scan or MRI of your actual injury. Click here or on the thumbnail image below to look at two 3-D color x-ray images we made for a client’s fractured wrist. We print the 3-D images in color for the settlement binder and include a CD with digital images.
    

This video was created from a 2D Black & White CT scan showing the brain bleed described in the medical records as small. 3D color is also contrasted side by side with the 2D Black & White CT scan.

• DEPOSITION — If your case hasn’t been settled before your deposition, we’ll prepare you so well that you’ll think like a lawyer! This is of extreme importance because a bad deposition can ruin your case. You’ll watch our deposition preparation video on a comfortable couch in our screening room showing an accident and a deposition about the accident. We’ll also go over the facts of your case. You will see the following:
  1. How a deposition is done;
  2. Who is at your deposition;
  3. How to dress;
  4. What questions are asked;
  5. How to answer questions the wrong way;
  6. How to answer questions the right way; and
  7. When not to answer questions;
  8. How not to answer questions.

  Because of our enhanced settlement package and your preparation, many cases are settled for full value without having to go to trial. See why our video is so effective and will make you testify like a lawyer.

  We prepare you while you watch our video in our deposition prep room. You can also watch it again online at home.
  

• PHYSICAL EXAMS — This is the one part of your case that’s as important as your deposition. Within a few weeks after your deposition, the defendant’s insurance company is entitled to have you examined by their “independent” doctors in each field of medicine as the doctors who treated you. Read about what happens at your physical exams. Many lawyers send their clients to these medical exams alone. Don’t hire a lawyer who would send you alone! Not only do we go with you but we also bring our own independent orthopedic surgeon or neurologist to your physical exam with you. Our doctor provides us with a report to make sure the insurance company doctor tells the truth and shows what was done correctly, what was done wrong, and what was not done that needed to be done. This is the best way to refute the defense insurance doctor’s allegations that you were not seriously injured!

We Use the Latest Technology to Get the Most Money for You

• Our fax service and computer backup are encrypted and HIPAA-compliant to protect your privacy. Plaintiff personal injury law firms are not required to be HIPAA compliant, and we don’t know any personal injury law firms that use HIPAA-compliant services!
• SmartAdvocate® Personal injury case management software, the leading (and most expensive) software that tracks every aspect of your personal injury case and lets us create legal documents at the click of a mouse. SmartAdvocate proudly posted Philip L. Franckel, Esq.’s testimonial on their website.
  
• Westlaw, the leading (and most expensive) legal research library, allows us to research legal issues for litigation and jury verdicts so we can prove what your injury is worth!
  
• Medical videos of your CT scan or MRI where appropriate. See one of our client’s 2D black & white CT scans turned into a 3D color video.
• Access to a databank of deposition and trial transcripts of defense doctors so we know what they previously testified to and we’re prepared to discredit them at trial.
• Asset searches are performed using LexisNexis which can find real estate including mortgage information and aircraft owned in the US. Asset search reports are used when the insurance coverage of the vehicle which struck your motorcycle is insufficient to compensate you for your injuries to determine if there is additional money that can be obtained and where the money is.
