The show hosts, Patrick T. Doherty, Esq. and professional radio host Joe Dougherty, enjoyed a lively discussion with Mr. Alston. The program discusses unique aspects of ThePhillyLawyers and our legal team—Emmett Madden, Andrew Alston, Megan Harkins, and Mindy Torjman.
Enjoy a listen here to get a sense of how ThePhillyLawyers is different from other law firms.
ThePhillyLawyers brings a personalized approach to client representation. We really get to know our clients. We learn about our clients’ individual, human stories. While our representation is typically sought out after an individual suffers an extreme life event, we dig deeper to understand that one event is not the full story. Our holistic approach means that we walk in the shoes of our clients. We invest time and energy in learning about our clients—their backgrounds, their present conditions, and their future aspirations. What barriers exist and how can we reduce the barriers to get our clients to where they wish to be. We get to know their families, their suffering, their conditions, and we come up with creative ways to help make their lives better. Each of our clients brings a human story. We listen, we ask questions, we investigate. And then we bring our clients’ human story alive through our dynamic and creative representation.
We use our personalized approach to win the highest possible settlements or trial judgments in civil personal injury cases. Similarly, we use this personalized approach to secure justice for our criminally charged clients.
With our client-centered approach, not only do our clients feel seen and understood, but our understanding helps affect the best possible outcomes for our clients. When we think about doctors, we frequently talk about the doctors’ bedside manner. How does the doctor interact with their patients? Does the doctor rush in, do a cursory examination, and then rush to a judgment without ever really listening to his/her patient and learning their history? Does the doctor miss issues or give incorrect diagnoses? Certainly, no patient who wants the best medical outcome should work with a doctor with a poor bedside manner. Similarly, in our legal representation, ThePhillyLawyers prides ourselves on having the best bedside manners. We are relatable and compassionate. We are accessible and trustworthy strategists. We earn our clients’ trust from the beginning, and, after the legal issue is resolved, we have earned our clients’ praise.
ThePhillyLawyers brings persuasive, cutting-edge use of visuals to our client representation. Mr. Alston was also asked to talk about ThePhillyLawyers unique use of visuals in the courtroom. We are the forefront of the persuasive use of visuals. In fact, Mr. Alston is frequently invited to lecture on these topics at legal advocacy programs—such as the National Institute of Trial Advocacy—and various continuing legal education programs and law school trial advocacy programs.
ThePhillyLawyers brings its unique approach of thorough preparation and top-level advocacy to client representation. Another topic explored during the radio program was how clients will do best to hire the most talented and most persuasive attorney rather than the most (paid-for) advertised. The bought-and-paid-for billboard and television advertisements by certain law firms claiming to be the most aggressive or the largest or some other superlatives about the biggest cash recoveries for other clients are ridiculous claims. That is, such claims have nothing to do with helping the individual clients suffering catastrophic personal injuries.
When an injured person is trying to find “the right lawyer” it is very difficult for injured people bombarded by over-advertised personal injury attorneys/firms to really find the right lawyer for them. As the program discusses, an injured person should pause and consider what they really need. That is, what will best serve your individual client interests? A big billboard or television commercial will do nothing to get you what you need. Rather, what a seriously injured client needs is to hire the law firm that will best-know each individual client’s life story and apply the appropriate skills to win the best outcome. The skills needed are high-level legal representation based in thorough preparation, top-quality writing, talented oral advocacy, and persuasive visuals. That intelligent recipe is exactly what ThePhillyLawyers, as a boutique firm, consistently brings to our clients.
