I'm Richmond personal injury attorney Ed Meade at the Meade Law Firm.  How about a little bit of straight talk about big personal injury law firms?  

​

I started out as a young lawyer with Allen & Allen in Richmond, Virginia.  They hired me while I was still in law school at the University of Virginia.  After graduating, I began my training at Allen & Allen and it was there that I learned how to represent people who've been injured in accidents.     

​

I learned a lot working at Allen & Allen.  I left in order to start my own personal injury law firm approximately 20 years ago.  I've handled thousands of personal injury cases since then.  And I can tell you that there are some real advantages to going with a smaller personal injury law firm that focuses on a select number of important cases.

 

At the Meade Law Firm, you will meet your Richmond personal injury attorney at the beginning of the case.  Your file will not be shuffled off to a "claims handler" or young lawyer who is working under the supervision of someone else.  You'll have an experienced lawyer working on your case from the beginning.  You'll get to know your lawyer and he will get to know you.  There will be much more attorney-client contact and there will be no question in your mind who is handling your case and calling the shots.   

 

When you call my office, you will not be speaking with people who do not know anything about your case.  You will not be going through a receptionist who transfers calls to hundreds of secretaries and assistants.  My personal secretary will probably answer the telephone.  She will be familiar with your case.  If she's on the other line, one of my paralegals will probably answer the phone.  They will also be familiar with your case. If they're all tied up and I'm not in court or depositions, I may answer the phone. This will not happen at the large Richmond personal injury law firms where you get transferred around to people who do not know anything about your case. 

 

My law firm is run much differently than the large Richmond personal injury law firms.  We don't play the numbers game.  Our overhead is relatively low which allows us to be very selective.  We turn down many more cases than we accept.  If we agree to handle your case, it's because you were objectively injured through no fault of your own. At the Meade Law Firm, we handle a smaller number of important cases, which allows us to provide superior service and maximize the recovery in each case.  You will get much better service and your case will get the attention it deserves.  

​

If you've been injured through no fault of your own and you're looking for a good Richmond personal injury attorney, I would suggest watching a couple of my videos before choosing a Richmond personal injury law firm.  It's an important decision and you deserve to be well informed.   

 

If you go with my firm, it will be me personally who is handling your case.  Do your homework, and then call us.  We are the smart alternative to the large Richmond personal injury law firms.  (804) 377-2273.
