WHO IS THE BEST SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA PERSONAL INJURY CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEY?
Anybody can claim that they are the best at almost anything. The question is not whether or not somebody could claim that they are great at what they do. The question is what results back that up. The question is not who can say that they're the best personal injury lawyer in Arizona. The question is whether or not anybody can prove that claim.
First, we have to get one thing out of the way. According to the rules of ethics in Arizona, no lawyer can legally say that they are the very best car accident lawyer in Arizona. The reality is, however, that while no one lawyer can prove that they are the best, there certainly are lawyers that have credentials far and away better than others. This does not necessarily mean that there is one lawyer that will stand out, but that there is a small percentage of lawyers that have a level of expertise and experience that many others do not.
For instance, there are hundreds if not thousands of lawyers who all claim to have "experience" in handling "Arizona personal injury" cases. However, what does that mean? The "experience" one lawyer may claim to have could simply be that they at one time handled a case for a family member. At that point, the lawyer may claim that they are an experienced Scottsdale, Arizona personal injury lawyer.
On the other hand, there is a group of lawyers that have been certified as specialists in personal injury and wrongful death litigation by the State Bar of Arizona. Of all the lawyers who are allowed to practice personal injury law, who are allowed to represent clients in Arizona car accident cases, who are allowed to try cases on behalf of those who have been injured in Scottsdale, Arizona and around the state, less than 2 percent of all of those lawyers have been certified by the State Bar as specialists in their area.
We are very proud of the fact that Mark Breyer has been certified as a specialist in personal injury by the State Bar of Arizona. This is not an easy distinction to attain. In order to become a specialist or expert in injury law, a lawyer first has to have actually tried enough personal injury cases just to meet the minimum threshold. Some lawyers may practice as personal injury attorneys their entire career, but they rarely take cases to trial. The problem with this is that the insurance companies may come to know and understand that the attorney is going to settle every case regardless of the fairness of the offer that is made. Therefore, it is very important to make sure that you have a personal injury trial lawyer, and not just another lawyer that claims to handle personal injury cases.
Also, to become a certified specialist a lawyer must pass a test as to their knowledge in the area of law, and they must get appropriate marks from the judges that they have appeared in front of, colleagues who are also in the personal injury area of practice, and even the lawyers that they have gone up against. If they have not earned the respect of all of these other people in the Arizona trial and personal injury lawyer community, they will not be allowed to even sit for the personal injury specialist examination.
The reality is that there is probably not one "best Scottsdale car accident lawyer" out there. The reality is there is probably a group of lawyers who all care very much about their clients, who know how to communicate with their clients, who know how to get the most from the insurance companies, who know how to fight the biggest corporations, and who are experienced in speaking to juries and have been able to obtain successful jury verdicts on behalf of their seriously injured clients. Of that elite group, it is then a matter of finding the "right fit" for any individual person or family.
