Probate and Injury Lawyers: The Next Dynamic Duo?

Attorneys who practice probate law stand out from other practitioners because they intimately know their clients’ personal lives. The trust given to them by clients is incredibly unique, as it develops from a detailed knowledge of a client’s personal, financial and family affairs.

A detail mentioned in passing about an injury or illness might provide an opportunity for clients to take further legal action – and recover compensation – after the initial probate matter has been resolved. When the matter is outside their realm of expertise, probate lawyers who align with injury practitioners can continue to secure justice for their clients while also forging new bonds with compassionate injury lawyers.

Each lawyer wants to serve their clients in every way possible. Often-times, a client has a request that is not in the attorney’s practice area, but they are trusting a probate lawyer to guide them in the proper direction. Sometimes, the client may not even realize they have a legitimate injury claim to make.

By tapping into your network of direct contacts, probate attorneys can remove some of the guesswork for their client. Having their client meet with an attorney whose greatest specialties are in injury matters will ensure that the matter gets the attention it deserves. Further, when that introduction is done by way of a personal referral, the trust the client now has in their injury lawyer is enhanced; this is especially vital in a world which now operates largely on virtual, and not personal, connections.

A strong working relationship across specialties also assists injury lawyers. Clients who have suffered catastrophic injuries or tragedies often need guidance on what to do with the award or settlement funds once they have been collected.

Many clients have not had six- or seven-figure sums at their disposal and want to ensure it is transferred properly as they consider the long term and many also need to protect their eligibility to receive government benefits while still accepting a substantial compensation award. Others need legal assistance so they can obtain legal authority to deal with their injured family member’s outstanding financial or medical issues when their loved one’s injury is significant enough that their injured family member is unable to look after their own affairs.

These are all matters outside the specialty of an injury lawyer, and the client’s legal outcome is enhanced by a strong working relationship across legal specialties.

As a trusted professional, probate practitioners can help a client see their options by aligning with an injury lawyer. This largely-untapped dynamic can work to the benefit of the client, create and strengthen bonds among lawyers, and maintain the integrity of the profession.

I went from feeling like a basket case from all the stress to feeling calm and collected after talking to Justin. He is a phenomenal personal injury lawyer and is a truly calming and reassuring presence. This firm helped me in ways I can't even adequately put into words, other than to say Thank You, Justin, to you and your awesome team.

After an auto accident, I felt really nervous calling an attorney because I had never worked with one before. But from the first conversation I had with Jessica, I felt so at ease. Justin then called me and was so easy going and we had a nice conversation too. The entire staff took great care of me and I am very happy.

I was in a car accident that was not my fault two years ago. A friend of mine had a family member who had been helped in the past by Justin King, and they suggested I call him. I'm so glad I did! Justin and his team took great care of my situation and got a great settlement for me. I highly recommend them if you have been in an accident. You will be very happy with what this firm. They are smart, hard-working, honest, and take great care of their clients.

Justin's entire staff is the best car accident lawyer team in Rancho Cucamonga. Justin, Oliver, Jessica, and Garrett all provided me with excellent service and treated me like family. They are all such great people, and always so honest and responsive to me. I gladly recommend them to anyone needing the services of a car accident lawyer in the Inland Empire.

When I needed a lawyer following a car accident on the Interstate 15 Freeway in Rancho Cucamonga, Justin King, and his team were there for me. I appreciated how his entire staff always seemed happy to answer my questions and were so good about returning all my phone calls and emails. I could tell this firm has immense experience in helping people get their life back after an unfortunate car crash. I was so happy with the outcome of my case and the results Justin obtained from the insurance company on my behalf. I have recommended their office to all my family members and neighbors. I hope you never need to call them. But if you need the best car accident lawyers, I can vouch that they are excellent.
