2 KINDS OF ATTORNEYS YOU NEVER WANT REPRESENTING YOUR CASE
From all the advertisements you see for attorneys and law offices plastered throughout the city, it might seem like the choices for whom you should choose to represent your case are endless. However, not all legal practices are created equal. While some attorneys earnestly seek to help their clients get the compensation they deserve, others represent clients for their own financial gain. In order to tell the good from the bad, avoid the following two kinds of attorneys in particular.
do it, take their fee, and leave you without enough of a settlement to pay your medical bills and make up for lost work time. When you’re looking for a good attorney, find one who’s not afraid to take your case to court and get the settlement you deserve.
AMBULANCE CHASERS
The above term used to refer to attorneys who would literally chase down ambulances, find patients in their hospital beds and pressure injured people into hiring them to represent their case. Luckily, because of HIPAA laws, no one can show up at your hospital bed uninvited anymore. However, many attorneys will still find ways to reach out to potential clients without warning, asking them if they can represent their case. Lawyers who are actually good at their jobs won’t have to do
that. They can just let their quality service, and a large group of satisfied clients, speak for themselves.

HIGH VOLUME/QUICK SETTLEMENT SCHEMERS

While settling out of court may take a lot less time, you’ll also likely receive a lot less in terms of compensation. Attorneys who take on high volumes of cases and settle them quickly know this, but they continue to
FACTOID STRANGE How Does Santa Travel So Fast on Christmas Eve? By Using Relativity Clouds, of Course!
TAKE A BREAK
Did you know that for Santa to deliver presents to every child in the world on Christmas Eve, he would have to travel around 650 miles per second? Since that’s slower than the speed of light, it is technically possible for something to go that fast — though, for reindeer pulling a chubby guy in a sled, it would be pretty challenging. However, a college physics professor argued (as an academic exercise) that instead of traveling really fast, Santa actually uses his
knowledge of the space/time continuum (because that’s something Santa knows about, right?), to form “relativity clouds.” Within these clouds, Santa can stretch time like a rubber band, taking months to deliver presents in what we perceive as only a few minutes. So, next time your kiddo uses the speed argument to try and disprove Santa, you can tell them about relativity clouds — or, you know, just tell them you’re actually the one buying the presents. Whatever you want.
