Professional Advice - Bemis Roach and Reed Legal

Every year, millions of people are either injured as a result of the negligence of others or have become disabled and are entitled to either Social Security Disability Benefits or Long Term Disability Insurance Benefits.   Unfortunately, many obstacles are often placed in front of these people to limit their recovery or to prevent them from recovering at all. Bemis, Roach & Reed was formed in order to assist those with such difficulties in overcoming these obstacles.

Although we offer free consultations to those persons facing problems within our practice areas, we thought we could assist KEYE TV viewers by giving them some insight into some of the issues related to personal injury claims, Social Security Disability claims and Long Term Disability Insurance claims, along with insight into hiring an attorney in such matters.

The most obvious question is whether you need an attorney at all. At Bemis, Roach & Reed, your initial consultation is free. The best way to determine your rights and to assure that your claim is handled properly is to consult an attorney who is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law. Bemis, Roach & Reed will provide prospective clients with a free consultation either over the phone or in the office, depending on the clients desire. Our firm will also send a lawyer to meet with a prospective client who, because of serious injury, is unable to travel. Consulting with an attorney enables the prospective client to make an informed decision as to whether they need an attorney to assist in their case. Whether a person should ultimately handle the case themselves or hire legal representation depends on a variety of factors. While the size of the persons claim is an important factor, it is not the controlling factor. We have found that, even in the smallest of cases, a person can be much better off with an attorney. Each case is different, as is each client.

However, if we believe that a prospective client would be better off trying to resolve their case on their own, then we will make this recommendation and advise them of some of the issues they will face. We have found that these prospective clients appreciate the advice and have been an important referral source for our firm.  The following links will guide you to answers to other common questions we are often asked by potential clients.
