Completing law school and passing the Bar Exam provides the title, “Attorney At Law.” Many people who have a license call themselves auto accident, “trial lawyers” but are they really?

Every lawyer can say, “I am a trial lawyer” just like every person with a paintbrush can claim to be Michelangelo because, after all, they can use the brush to paint the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel. Claiming to be a trial lawyer without ever going to trial is an outright lie.

The TV and radio are full of advertisements of lawyers who say they are, “trial lawyers” but have NEVER had a trial at all. They have never presented a case to a jury and never received a verdict.

Trial work is hard and complex. It requires dedication and skills that are actually uncommon among lawyers who claim to be personal injury, auto accident, or negligence attorneys. If you are considering a lawyer, ask them, “Have you PERSONALLY had an auto accident trial before a jury?” And if the answer is yes, ask how many and when was the last one. The answer may surprise you.

At the Law Office of Dario Diaz we actually go to trial and get verdicts for our clients. We stand up, in the court, and in front of a jury to present our client’s case. The insurance companies know which lawyers go to trial and which lawyers just settle everything; and they don’t treat real, “trial lawyers” the same as those who advertise as trial lawyers.

For an example of some of our trial verdicts see: https://dariodiazlaw.com/past-results/
