There are two very important questions you MUST ask of every Jones Act lawyer or Maritime Attorney that you are considering hiring: Who will be handling my case? & How often will I speak to an attorney?  Most Internet law firms run "volume practices." Meaning they take every case that walks into the office.  You need to stay away from these firms. They settle cases for pennies on the dollar. Don't let this happen to you and your family.

Looking for an honest San Diego Jones Act Lawyer? Be sure that the Jones Act Attorney in San Diego you hire is not an Internet "volume practice" lawyer!

(Meaning, they handle hundreds of cases at once. They are so busy, you never get to speak to a lawyer and only have paralegals running your case. These volume law firms settle cases for pennies on the dollar).

Questions for the San Diego Jones Act Lawyer or Jones Act Lawyer in San Diego that you are considering hiring:


Who will be handling my case?

How often can I expect to speak to a lawyer?

There are two very, very important questions you should ask of any law firm that you are considering hiring for your personal injury or death case. First, who will be handling my case? Second, how often can I expect to speak to a lawyer?

Here is the deal. Most Internet law firms handle way too many cases at one time. They run “volume” practices. Meaning they take about every case that walks in the door. Literally and figuratively hundreds of cases at once. Which raises the question - - who will be responsible for the day to day handling of your case? You need to ask yourself, “How can a few lawyers handle 300 - 400 legal cases?”

Believe it or not, there are some mega- Internet firms in California who brag about their clients never getting to speak to the lawyers. Huh? They call it “an efficient way to practice personal injury law.”

Clients don’t speak to attorneys. Instead, clients speak to paralegals. They have over 20 paralegals. Paralegals do just about everything. Is that the way you want your legal case handled? By paralegals?

These firms say the client “experience” is the most important part of the case. Clients will accept receiving less money for their case if the staff are nice all along the way. Are you kidding?

Why are you filing a lawsuit? Because you are seriously injured, with a spouse, a mortgage and three kids? Or, for the “experience?”

It really is “buyer beware” regarding Internet attorneys.

Hey, we check out the first page of Google rankings also. Guess what? On the first page of Google, out of say 10 attorneys listed, you may find one or two law firms listed that really are specialists in the legal area. Somewhere between 10 % - 20% of the firms listed.

“Jones Act lawyer” and “Maritime lawyer” are particularly abused on Google. We have been practicing Jones Act law and maritime law since 1986. We know who the Jones Act and Maritime Lawyers in California are. Most of these firms have had maybe, one Jones Act case before or Maritime injury case before. Is that the type of experince you want for the lawyer handling your case?

Be sure that the lawyer you hire really does have experience in the legal area you need. And, always ask, “Who will be handling my case? And, “How often will I be speaking to my Lawyer?"


These volume Internet law firms run volume practices. They have to settle a lot of case each month to pay their huge overhead. They settle cases for pennies on the dollar. Meaning they settle $300,000 serious injury cases for $20,000. Afterwards they send you a firm coffe mug.

Be sure that the San Diego Jones Act Attorney you hire really is a Jones Act Attorney in San Diego. You need an honest San Diego Jones Act Lawyer and Jones Act Lawyer in San Diego that is honest.
