You have probably seen those flashy TV commercials: a lawyer appears on screen, promises quick settlements, and says everything you want to hear after an accident. While these ads can be tempting, choosing a California personal injury lawyer based solely on television fame might not be best for you.

At BANA LAW, PC, we believe in transparent communication, personalized service, and, most importantly, delivering top-notch legal representation. Below, we answer common questions about why TV lawyers might not be the right fit and what to look for instead.

Should I Be Wary of TV Lawyers?

Many attorneys featured on TV are skilled advertisers, not necessarily skilled lawyers. They spend a lot of money to run commercials, meaning they need high volumes of clients to cover those costs. You risk becoming just a case number, not receiving the personal attention your claim deserves.

Also, a lawyer’s on-camera persona might not reflect the competence they are required to show under Rule 1.1 of the California Rules of Professional Conduct, which states a lawyer must have or quickly gain the learning and skill to handle your case effectively.

TV ads often brag about fast results. However, a quick settlement may not be a fair one. Insurance companies are happy to pay less when they see a lawyer who aims for speed over thorough investigation. A rushed approach might overlook hidden medical expenses or future treatment costs. By contrast, at BANA LAW, PC, we believe in carefully building your case, so you get the maximum compensation you truly deserve.

Not All Lawyers Are the Same

Lawyers have different levels of experience, approaches, and reputations. Some focus on client care; others churn through cases. In Rule 1.16, the law outlines conditions where a lawyer may have to withdraw if they can’t handle a case effectively. If an attorney is juggling too many clients, they may not give your matter the time and care it needs.

What About Their Big Win Statistics?

TV ads frequently flash big verdicts or settlements. While these numbers can be real, they might not be typical.

Sometimes, a single large case is used to drum up excitement, but it says little about how the lawyer handles most claims. Also, those figures could be from years ago, with different staff or circumstances. Ask direct questions about the lawyer’s experience with your type of case.

At BANA LAW, PC, we have a track record of success and are happy to explain our recent wins and methods.

Do TV Lawyers Handle My Case Personally?

They might pass your file to less experienced associates or even send it to outside firms. Because of their heavy advertising, TV lawyers often have more clients than they can manage. You could end up talking to paralegals or staff instead of the attorney you saw on TV. We believe clients deserve direct access to their legal team. Our approach is to keep communication open and ensure you talk to real lawyers, not just gatekeepers.

Are TV Lawyers Less Skilled?

Not necessarily, but a flashy ad does not prove skill. Some TV lawyers are competent, but others rely on showmanship rather than solid legal work. Competence is key; Rule 1.1 demands lawyers to maintain the skill and knowledge to represent clients effectively. If a lawyer focuses more on marketing than mastering the law, you might not get the representation you need.

How Do I Choose a California Personal Injury Lawyer?

Look beyond commercials. Here are some tips for choosing a California personal injury attorney:

• Ask for Recommendations: Friends or family who’ve hired a personal injury lawyer are good resources.
• Check Online Reviews: See what other clients say about their experiences.
• Look at Track Record: How many similar cases have they won?
• Schedule a Consultation: Meet the lawyer, ask questions, and see how they communicate.
• Assess Personal Fit: Do they listen to your concerns? Are they easy to reach?

Can a TV Lawyer Still Be Right for Me?

Possibly. Some attorneys on TV are dedicated and effective. However, you should never pick an attorney just because of a catchy commercial. Investigate whether they truly have:

• Experience with your type of injury
• Good communication practices
• A genuine interest in your well-being

We always advise a detailed conversation before you sign anything.

If your injuries are serious, you want a lawyer who genuinely cares, not someone who only appears approachable on TV.

Can I Change Attorneys if I Feel Unhappy with the Representation?

You can change attorneys if you feel unhappy with the representation. According to Rule 1.16, a client can fire a lawyer at any time. If you feel your concerns are ignored or you never speak directly to your lawyer, it’s okay to look for better support. We often step in where clients felt their old firm wasn’t doing enough.
