Attorney Referrals And Joint Ventures
REFERRING ATTORNEYS & JOINT VENTURES
Referring lawyers can help bring more value to their clients by working with another firm. Our personal injury firm often communicates with other lawyers and law firms who feel that our team’s resources and experience may help strengthen a case.
We work to evaluate every referral opportunity and may turn down those that we believe the referring lawyer can handle adequately without our assistance. That said, in some instances, personal injury cases can become too costly or complicated for a smaller firm to handle alone. A lawyer may also recognize that they can obtain additional value by working with another firm or referring the case entirely.
It is the responsibility of an honest lawyer to know what to do in such a case. Ultimately, as personal injury attorneys, we aim to provide the legal guidance clients need. Not only does a lawyer work to achieve positive results, but the client may also benefit from the additional resources and skills, and referring attorneys are likely to gain valuable experience and knowledge when working with other lawyers.

Our team has decades of combined experience in personal injury law, and it receives a number of referrals from various lawyers and firms.

We often embark with lawyers on joint ventures that focus on advocating for a client’s interests. These ventures also aim to help referring attorneys observe our strategies for handling personal injury cases.
Committed To Compliant And Equitable Fee-Sharing Arrangements
When we enter into fee-sharing agreements with other firms or lawyers, we work to comply with all of the rules of the California Bar. Under these regulations, lawyers in the state can choose to share fees, provided that the client agrees to the arrangement in writing. For this reason, we are committed to having the client authorize fee-sharing before proceeding further with their case.
We can work with lawyers from all areas of practice to the extent permitted by law, including corporate attorneys, defense lawyers, probate attorneys, entertainment attorneys, in-house counsel, criminal defense attorneys, and attorneys who have retired from practice, provided that they maintain an active license in their respective state. The specifics of a fee-sharing arrangement depend on a number of factors, and every arrangement is different.
Some potential considerations when negotiating a fee-sharing arrangement include how much the referring lawyer wants to be involved, the expected costs associated with litigation, and the nature of the case. We are committed to reaching an equitable fee-sharing arrangement with every lawyer or firm we work with.
