Interviewer: Are there any misconceptions people have about this whole process of whether or not they have a case, how are claims filed that you have to dispel when you speak to them?

Bill: Frequently people ask if they have to pay me when they hire me.   They do not. They pay me if and when I get them their settlement.  Folks are surprised how long it takes to get to trial.    They are very surprised that their insurance company pays part of my fee because they hired me.  Most frequently people have never done this before it is confusing and intimidating and my goal is to reduce that stress as much as possible

Interviewer: Is there anything people do unintentionally that puts them at fault?

Bill: They don’t pay attention.
