Now that I am a middle age man doing middle age things I have come to know some things. I have 15 years in my industry serving businesses, and I own two businesses myself.
Through experience I have come to see that law firms and businesses who have worked for 10 plus years have an exceptional advantage over start ups or younger businesses.
Businesses try to constantly perfect their recipe and businesses who have been doing this for 10 plus years put together something that works. Think about it.
- Finding the right employees
- Having the right process
- Experiencing first hand all of the curve balls a business deals with
- creating efficiencys that work allowing the service to be perfected for a good price.
In Ohio, a good friend of mine is honestly one of the best car accident lawyers in Ohio.
They are:
- Experienced
- Trusted
- Experts in their field
- the authority on Car accident injuries.
I have been fortunate to watch him shape his firm for almost 20 years now. Getting the right staff, paralegals, incentivising everyone, creating an efficient office the drives on all cylinders is not an easy thing to do. But when you put a decade into it, you start to get results.
A law firm that has a decade plus experience has teams of lawyers and paralegals that know what they're doing and a process that allows them to move cases along as quickly as possible. They have proven that they will fight insurance companies in court, so insurance companies know they mean business and will fight each case to the max if they have to. Insurance companies are more likely to settle than to go to court with the experienced law firm.
I can't get over how efficient, and thus, how quality a business becomes after 10+ years of successful growth. It is not easy but when it is achieved an experienced business can provide the outcome you're looking for at a good price.
There is risk working with a new business, sure they may be the lowest price, but will they come through? Will the work be good, will the results be there?
I look at my friend's law firm and I see a wll oiled machine humming along every day, teams of attorneys working with paralegals, cases moving a quickly as an injury case can move while still getting a maximum settlement. It would be impossible to express this to myself ten years ago, I am fortunate to have witnessed it first hand. I have seen the hard work and effort it takes to get there, the issues they have overcome, growing the right staff and training them so that the results are there everytime. A well run business becomes a family and that is excactly what McKenzie & Snyder LLP are.
I am fortunate to know them.
