A personal injury of any type can throw a person off course. Whether it’s from a car accident, slip and fall, or another event, it’s hard to prepare for the unexpected. Those who are injured often face high medical bills and income loss, and they’re forced to deal with reluctant insurance companies. The Wetzel Law Firm has a history of success with personal injury cases, and past clients' testimonials show that the firm's attorneys work tirelessly to get clients the compensation they deserve.  

Clients All Over Biloxi and Gulfport Count on Wetzel Law Firm 
No matter how effective a personal injury attorney in Biloxi or Gulfport may be, they should know their limits. Like those in other professions, lawyers can only devote so much time, energy, and effort to their work. Attorneys with the Wetzel Firm believe in the causes and people they represent, and they don’t sign a client up if they don’t think they can give the case the attention it needs. Small firms often have problems with availability, but clients are always satisfied with the firm's work because of its size, ethics, and skilled support staff. Read a few of the testimonials below to learn how the team can help in various situations.

Our Firm's Experience Speaks for Itself 
Skill and experience are important in legal matters, perhaps more so here than anywhere else. After all, one wouldn’t hire an electrician to resolve a plumbing problem, and they shouldn’t hire a real estate attorney to handle an injury case. It’s important to choose a firm that’s handled similar cases, as well as one with a high success rate. While winning lawsuits isn’t the only metric by which to measure an attorney’s effectiveness, it can indicate that they have what it takes to handle a case. Clients in Biloxi, Gulfport, and the surrounding areas have been relying on the Wetzel Law Firm since 1979, and they're often willing to discuss their experiences with the firm as shown below. 

Solid Assessments and Objective Opinions 
As a victim, it’s easy for a person to assume that their case is a sure thing and they’re entitled to a sizable reward. However, every accident is different, and in some cases, the law or the case’s circumstances make it difficult or impossible to win a court case. Every lawyer at the firm always offers an objective opinion on cases' value and merits. Many of the firm's potential clients, even if they don't hire us, admire us for our honesty, strong work ethic, and objectivity, as shown in our testimonials. 

A Narrow Focus Leads to Better Outcomes for Clients 
If the case is going to trial, the client should have a personal injury lawyer who’s well-versed in Mississippi state law. They should also be acquainted with the defense tactics insurers and employers use, and they should know how to negotiate in ways that meet clients’ needs. As some of our clients have said, other attorneys with wider focus areas just can't provide the same level of service available from the Wetzel Law Firm. 

Encouraging Client Participation and Fostering Effective Interactions 
Our lawyers defend clients in ways that the client themselves cannot, and to do their jobs effectively, they need to know the client’s complete story. While a client’s medical history, the details of the accident, and medical documentation are important, an attorney should focus on more than reviewing the records. During a personal injury case, a client may need to consult his or her attorney and the firm’s staff, and it’s vital to choose a firm that’s easy to work with. The Wetzel Law Firm has a long list of satisfied clients who would be happy to recommend us to friends, family members, and coworkers.  

No Fees Unless We Win 
Most personal injury attorneys advance litigation costs, and they only get paid if they’re successful. However, personal injury litigation comes with costs such as filing fees, record retrieval fees, and medical witness costs. Many attorneys stipulate that such costs are not the client’s responsibility in the event of an unsuccessful outcome. Our potential clients often ask this question when evaluating their options and they prefer us because we ensure that they understand any agreements they sign. 

Will the Case Go to Court, and When? 
Personal injury lawyers should prepare for and expect all cases to go to trial. While out-of-court settlements make sense in some cases, our attorneys have the ability to take a case to trial if necessary. Our attorneys know roughly how long it may be before the case is brought before the court. Knowing the local courts is part of the job, as is knowing the intricacies of Mississippi’s legal system, and clients in Biloxi and Gulfport recommend us for that very reason. 

Clients and Attorneys Form Close Working Relationships 
While some large firms have the advantage of an extensive support staff, this means that the person with whom a client speaks during the initial consultation may not be the one handling the case or taking it to court. Furthermore, because different attorneys have varying focus areas, it’s common for cases to pass through numerous hands. However, we do things differently. Our clients know who’s handling their case, when they’re handling it, and why they’re taking over. Therefore, they're more likely to recommend us to others. 
​

Our Attorneys Provide a Degree of Certainty During Uncertain Times 
Court cases, like other parts of life, are notoriously unpredictable. That means an attorney can’t give a client a definitive timeframe for resolution. However, our firm's injury lawyers have enough legal knowledge and previous experience to provide a good estimate. While the timeline an attorney provides is subject to change, our firm is one of the most effective in the area because of the reassurance it provides clients. 
Good attorneys are often difficult to find, and injuries and financial losses are too much for some clients to bear. Past clients in Biloxi and Gulfport recommend attorneys who provide honest, faithful, and fair representation. Call the Wetzel Law Firm today to schedule a consultation. ​​
