Choosing a Wrongful Death Attorney

Answer:

Sometimes I’m asked why I would be a good attorney in a wrongful death case. First of all, I’ve handled a lot of cases that involve death in the course of my career. I was a prosecuting attorney at the start of my career. I saw a lot of murder cases and prosecuted a lot of murder cases— the kinds of cases in which unfortunate people were killed and family was left behind. I’ve also done a lot of wrongful death cases as a personal injury lawyer and as an insurance defense lawyer. So, I’ve had both sides of those kinds of cases, and I’ve had a lot of experience with wrongful death. I’ve had a lot of experience with the grief that people go through, as well. I’m old enough to have had some grief in my own life and to understand that about people. I’ve done a lot of continuing legal education. I’ve done a lot of reading about grief and the impact on the family. I’ve shared those experiences with other attorneys and other clients over the years.

You need somebody who is willing to connect with the family, who is willing to spend the time to find out what the total loss really is— the real loss, the emotional loss, the impact on the family, because every family is a unit. Suddenly, a person is missing from that unit that’s not there anymore. There’s not a wholeness to the family. You need somebody to be able to tell people about that loss, and I have been successful in doing that many times. Part of the journey is learning about what people have gone through and being able to present that.
