While this question depends on your situation, we highly recommend that if you are even considering this question that you meet with a lawyer. A consultation with a lawyer can help you make the right decision for your situation. During your consultation with a lawyer, he or she can listen to your current situation and tell you what your case will entail and what the future of your case looks like — with or without a lawyer.

Most people are not sure what exactly a lawyer can do to help them in their situation. If you do not completely understand the legal scope of your situation, it is probably best to hire an attorney. Doing so ensures you are treated fairly and get the most out of your case.

The attorneys at Chatham Gilder Howell Pittman are aggressive, yet compassionate, and work diligently to protect your rights and to help you get the compensation you deserve.

Negligent individuals, companies, and other responsible parties should be held accountable for the injuries they cause. Whether your injuries resulted from a car wreck, defective product, neglectful property owner,
or medical professional who has failed to uphold a standard of care, you deserve full and fair compensation to help you recover.

Sadly, many folks who suffer serious harm will put off contacting a lawyer because they don’t feel right about lawsuits or because they don’t want to go through lengthy litigation before a judge.

Truth is, very few personal injury cases actually end up in court. That’s also true for most of our cases. What’s different about us is that we’re not in a hurry to settle and move on. We want you to get what’s rightfully due you, even if it takes extra work on our part.

At Chatham Gilder Howell Pittman, you can rest assured knowing that you are being taken care of at every step of the process. You will always work directly with an experienced attorney from our firm – not a paralegal. And your questions will be answered promptly. Most of our clients have suffered two injuries: one from a harmful incident and the other from the way the insurance company treated their claim. Whatever the source of your pain, we will do everything we can to get you the compensation you deserve.

The firm’s commitment to pro bono focuses on three primary areas: strengthening families, empowering communities, and protecting civil rights. Our commitment to systemic change and focus on these three areas have become even more urgent as we consider the disparate impact of COVID-19 and the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and too many others.

We are more aware than ever of our special responsibility as a law firm to address these crises of inequality and racial injustice. As part of our response to current events, Bass, Berry & Sims has joined with more than 200 firms across the world to form the Law Firm Antiracism Alliance.

Its mandate is to “leverage the resources of the private bar to amplify the voices of communities and individuals oppressed by racism, to better use the law as a vehicle for change that benefits communities of color and to promote racial equity in the law and in government institutions.”

This initiative increased the billable hour credit for all attorneys to dedicate to pro bono activities. For non-member attorneys, 100 hours annually are counted toward the annual billable hour requirement, encouraging attorneys to devote more time to serve in pro bono capacities. For members, the firm provides pro bono credit to individuals who devote significant time to pro bono work.
