Retaining the services of a lawyer to defend and protect your interests is a matter that involves more than making a simple telephone call. Anthony Mineault, an associate lawyer with Plant Quinn Thiele LLP, maintains that prior to forging a relationship with a law firm potential clients should always exercise due diligence and not be afraid to ask questions about the law firm’s experience, the nature of the proceedings and the potential outcomes associated with a specific proceeding. Choosing a lawyer to represent your interest is not a matter of convenience, but a matter of choice. Potential client’s should choose a lawyer based on their belief that they can be comfortable in confiding information and in trusting the lawyer’s ability to bring a successful outcome. Potential clients should always be allowed to take their time when it comes to choosing legal representation. Such an important decision should never be rushed and should be made on the basis that the potential client feels comfortable in dealing with the contacted lawyer.
Mr. Mineault was recently retained by a young family residing in Eastern Ontario who had been injured in a motor vehicle accident in 2007. The family had telephoned Mr. Mineault, as well as several other personal injury law firms, on several occasions to discuss the case with him. The family was unaware of their legal right to sue the at fault driver or of their rights to receive accident benefits under their automobile insurance policy. It was the family’s first experience in dealing with an insurance company and they felt overwhelmed by their experience. Mr. Mineault took the time to speak with the family and to explain the rights available to victims of motor vehicle accidents during each telephone conversation. Mr. Mineault drove outside of Ottawa to meet with this young family and to discuss the extent of their rights and entitlements. The family was quite pleased to have a lawyer come to the comfort of their home to explain all of the intricacies related to motor vehicle litigation in Ontario. Mr. Mineault was officially retained to pursue and protect their interests. Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers - Plant Quinn Thiele LLP - www.pqtlaw.com
