I just read an employment ad for an associate attorney from a law firm that advertises itself in all of the major biker rags, handling motorcycle accident and biker law cases all over the United States of America. The ad specifically stated that experience with motorcycle accident cases is preferred but not necessary.
Need I say more! The ad specifically states “Motorcycle background also a plus, but not a must.”
Out of deference to the firm because I know them, I am not publishing their name or the contents of their ad. I have saved their ad just in case there are any questions as to the authenticity of my article.
As I have previously written, I only know of a couple other lawyers in the State of California other than myself that can call themselves a true Biker Lawyer.
There is a Latin term; caveat emptor, which means let the buyer beware. Just because you see a lawyer or law firm advertising themselves as a biker lawyer, or motorcycle accident lawyer, does not mean they know squat about motorcycles, bikers, or motorcycle accidents.
You can read my articles here on the Biker Law Blog which discusses why it is important to retain a lawyer who actually knows and rides motorcycles for your motorcycle accident case!
If you have any doubts about your lawyer, ask them two simple questions; “what do you ride,” and “when is the last time you have rode a motorcycle.”
I am a REAL biker lawyer, and a motorcycle accident lawyer, who handles cases all over the State of California. You may call me anytime at 800-816-1529 to discuss your California motorcycle accident case.
