GB Law: Thorough Investigation and Careful Preparation for Every Case
Some personal injury law firms are “settlement mills” and their primary goal is to settle injury cases quickly. These settlement firms will take just about any injury case and will encourage clients to settle early. They have no intention of putting in the work and investments of time and money necessary to prepare cases for trial. The problem with this type of law firm is that there is little or no benefit to the client. Clients do not receive personal attention or fair compensation. The insurance companies know the reputations of these settlement mill firms and that they will encourage their clients to settle for low amounts. At GB Law, we take a different approach because we believe our clients deserve to be fairly compensated. From the initial investigation, our clients are given personal attention and every case is prepared for trial. We fight and advocate for our clients, and will take any case to court if necessary.
