Difficult Referrals
Every lawyer has been there. A current client, a friend, or a family member comes to you with a problem. They are looking to you, as a lawyer, to know everything there is to know about the law. But this problem is outside of your knowledge base. What you would love to do is find someone who could handle this problem and do so in an expeditious and professional manner. Instead, unless the case is an extremely high damage case, what you are likely to do is try in vain to find someone who will take the case. So you have to have that conversation with your client, friend, family member, explaining that you could not find anyone to help them. This is especially prevalent in healthcare litigation because of the few qualified lawyers who will review the cases.
Worse yet, you find someone who will look at or take the case, but they just do not handle the client or the case the way that they should. Now your client, friend, or family member is looking for you to explain why this process is so difficult and why the lawyer you recommended is not treating them as a valued client.
Again, we have all been there.
But if your client, friend, or family member has a healthcare litigation matter, your problem is solved. McIver has a singular focus on healthcare litigation cases. So, you can rest easy knowing that your client, friend, or family member with a healthcare litigation matter will be at the center of McIver’s attention.
Everyone will be kept informed. McIver combines proprietary technological resources with an absolute dedication to client service to create an atmosphere where each client will be kept informed about the progress of the matter and referring counsel will receive frequent status updates—ensuring that you will look good to the clients that you referred to McIver. McIver wants to make sure that you look good to your clients so that you will continue to refer them.
Every case will get a thorough review. Because healthcare litigation is our singular focus, we review each and every matter carefully. If we do not believe that a case can be made, your client, friend, or family member will receive a detailed explanation about why McIver cannot take the case. This relieves you of the burden of delivering the bad news.
For the cases that McIver accepts, your client, friend, or family member will receive excellent client service and aggressive legal representation. It is our goal to resolve every case within one year of filing suit and we have the plans in place to make that happen. Of course, litigation is unpredictable and anything can happen, but we will do everything within the rules, the law, and our power to resolve the matter efficiently so that your client, friend, or family member can get on with their life.
So, remember, if you receive a call looking for a firm to handle a healthcare litigation matter, you can solve the problem of the difficult referral by sending them to McIver.
