Video Transcript

I’m Robert Goings. I’m a lawyer here in Columbia, South Carolina, and if you’ve been injured in an accident or suffered an on the job injury, let me give you a piece of advice before you hire an attorney. Ignore the billboards, ignore the catchy slogans, and the loud, obnoxious TV lawyer advertising commercials. You want a lawyer that spends time in the courtroom, not in the advertising room. What really matters, truly, is experience. You need a lawyer that has real courtroom experience and has the skills to take your case to trial if the insurance company refuses to be fair. This isn’t just a legal claim; it’s your health, it’s your livelihood, and it’s your family’s future. Your lawyer should treat your case as seriously as it is to you. Choose an attorney that the defense lawyers and the insurance adjusters take seriously. In South Carolina, it’s reputation that can make a real difference in the outcome of your case. So I tell you, when you go to hire a lawyer, look past the noise, look past the gimmicks and the promises that you see on the TV or on the highway billboards. Hire an attorney who’s credible. Hire an attorney who’s experienced and hire a lawyer who will fight for you when it matters the most.
