After many years in the legal business do you ever wondered why you should hire Herbert M. Hill, P.A? Today we’re sharing the reasons why.
Why hire Herbert M. Hill , P.A.? One of the great advantages my firm offers is the fact that I am paperless. The cases I handle typically would have so much paper that up to three (3) or four (4) boxes would be necessary. Some time ago, I took my office paperless. By this, I specifically intend to use the first person singular because I personally scanned virtually every document in my office. This allowed me to carefully organize all my files and set them up for a very specific arrangement for new files. New documentation is scanned on the day it is received except sometimes when a large scanning job comes in. Even those are done within a day or two.
Now my files are organized in a way that allows my administrative assistant and myself to very quickly obtain and review any document in the file. No more is there any need to get up and go get the file, check to see if all the filing is current and sit down to review the entire file in order to respond to whatever particular question a client may have. This process streamlines client representation in a way that works to my client’s benefit in that inquiries can be more readily addressed. It also saves my clients significant amounts of money for copying charges considering the amounts of paperwork involved when one considers that typical copying charges are $.25 per page. Please know that I do not treat client costs as a profit center as many attorneys unfortunately often do.
Why hire Herbert M. Hill, P.A.? Another question I am asked a fair amount is whether my one-man law firm can successfully deal with large insurance companies and the large law firms they hire to represent them. The answer to this question relates in part to the points made above about being paperless. It is quite astonishing that many large law firms and insurance companies have yet to go paperless. They still experience the negative impact of dealing with cumbersome amounts of paper. Quite simply, they cannot stay up with me. I get paperwork from the insurance company or its law firm and I generally respond to it that day, putting the ball back in their court. This way we keep them off balance and responding to us rather than vice versa. Just so it is clear, I was able to do this before going paperless but now it is a routine matter of course.
Why hire Herbert M. Hill, P.A.? Besides these tactical advantages, I enjoy battling the insurance companies and their silk-stocking lawyers. I remember when I first graduated from law school and went to work for one of those law firms. While I can still dress with the best of them when it is time to do so, I am one who is ready to roll up his sleeves and do the daily, in the trenches work which makes for a successful claim. As far as battling the insurance companies is concerned, it is one reason I am so passionate about representing my clients. I get to represent living, breathing people with hearts and souls who need my help against the conglomerate which set up the deal long before my client saw it coming. No one believes they will ever become disabled when they take out these policies. No one wants to be disabled. No one wants to be known as being disabled. Yet, here they are- disabled and in need of the financial help they paid the insurance company to provide, Yet the insurance is seeking every way to get out from under its obligation. As I tell my clients, sometimes the role I play is that of the hammer being held over the insurance company forcing them to do the right thing. It was my pleasure to receive as a gift from a client recently a hammer because she thought I did such a good job of doing exactly that. I can undertake that same task on your behalf, a task which the average layman is usually ill-equipped to undertake.
