Many lawyers claim to be trial lawyers but have never actually tried a case in front of a jury. Actual courtroom experience is a critical skill in employment and civil rights cases – you need a lawyer who knows the courtroom and is eager to get your case in front of a jury. You don’t want someone who will beg the other side to settle because they don’t have experience trying cases – that’s a surefire way to get nothing. We have tried hundreds of cases and dozens of jury trials. We know our way around the courtroom and we love trying cases. If the defendant is willing to do the right thing and settle for a fair amount that’s acceptable to you – of course we’ll settle the case. But if not, rest easy knowing that you’ve got a TRIAL LAWYER in your corner.
Madia Law takes on a few cases and works them hard
Madia Law has a different business model than many employment law and civil rights law firms. Most firms try to sign up as many clients as they can and settle the cases as quickly as possible for a relatively modest amount of money in order to move on to the next case. Madia Law is different. We screen cases heavily and take on fewer cases than most firms – we then litigate those cases hard for several months. Madia Law takes more depositions, does more discovery, and builds an iron-clad case sufficient to beat the other side’s summary judgment motion. This raises the settlement value of the case by hundreds – and sometimes thousands – of percent. And of course, if the case doesn’t settle, then we’re ready, willing, and eager to try it to a jury.
No sugarcoating
We will always tell you the truth about your case – no matter what. Just like when you go to the doctor and you want to hear the straight truth on whether you’ve got a broken bone or not – we will give you an honest and easy to understand assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your case. We’ll make recommendations based on our experience regarding whether you should move forward, step back, settle, or try the case. All decisions will ultimately be yours and yours alone, but whatever decision you make, you’ll know that you had honest and straight talk on every aspect of your case.
Contingency Fee Structure
For many employment law claims and civil rights claims, Madia Law doesn’t get paid unless you recover in your case – plain and simple. Most individuals going through tough times can’t afford to pay hundreds of dollars an hour to an attorney – that’s why Madia Law works on contingency fees.
