10 REASONS TO CHOOSE VanDerGinst Law

REASON ONE

Experience.
Nearly all we do is fight for the rights of injury victims. All of our attorneys are trial lawyers. While most cases can be settled without filing suit, you need to know that you have an experienced trial lawyer on your side should a lawsuit be necessary to obtain a reasonable recovery. We have recovered tens of MILLIONS of dollars for our clients. Experience definitely counts.

REASON TWO

First Consultation is Free.
Your first consultation with VanDerGinst Law is free. Often your attorney can answer your injury case questions right on the phone or via our FREE ONLINE EVALUATION. If we feel we can help we’ll explain your rights in plain language and answer your questions at no charge.
If you hire us, our fees and costs will be provided in writing.

REASON THREE

No Win? No Fee.
If we don't win your injury case, there is no fee. We work on a contingency basis. That means there must be money received for your injury or we do not receive a fee. Frequently, injury cases result in settlements rather than trial and jury verdict. If that happens in your case, we'll explain where that settlement money will go, including any amount "in your pocket" before you approve it.
If there is no settlement, we discuss filing the case in court with you. If the jury verdict would be zero, our fee is zero. We work hard for you and that's the only way we are paid.

REASON FOUR

No Cost Up Front.
You pay nothing up front.
When you hire VanDerGinst Law, we'll typically advance the costs of preparing and presenting your injury case. This is not always the case with other firms. Many law firms require the client to pay the costs of collecting information, preparing the evidence and other expenses. This can amount to hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars.
Our willingness to advance these expenses shows our commitment to you.

REASON FIVE

We Care.
VanDerGinst Law is large enough to serve you . . . yet small enough to care. Our offices are staffed with legal professionals dedicated to serving our clients' legal needs.
We take pride in knowing our clients personally and even make it a point to assist you with other problems related to your injury. Since you're the most important person in our office, we listen carefully to what you have to say.

REASON SIX

Technology.
VanDerGinst Law uses the latest in computer and communications technology in order to streamline the process of legal research and courtroom presentations. In the courtroom, we also employ video presenters to allow for the effective and meaningful presentation of evidence in your case. We use this technology in order to enhance the likelihood of a settlement or verdict in your favor.

REASON SEVEN

Loyalty.
Loyalty means a lot.
VanDerGinst Law's loyalties are to you . . . the injured victim. We don't represent insurance companies. We don't represent manufacturers of dangerous products. We don't represent big business. We represent people just like you. We wouldn't have it any other way.

REASON EIGHT

Continuing Legal Education.
VanDerGinst Law voluntarily spends thousands of dollars yearly on training and seminars that improve the legal knowledge of our attorneys and staff. We stay up-to-date. You get representation that is well informed on the latest applications of the law.

REASON NINE

Home Consultations.
We know that injuries can make travel difficult. If you can't come to us, we'll come to you whether you are laid up at home or in the hospital. In some instances we can even open a file for you over the phone or via the internet.

REASON TEN

Personal Service.
From your first call to the settlement or jury verdict, you'll have an experienced attorney working on your file along with our experienced staff of legal professionals.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death, that seems to have been someone else’s fault, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
