I'm hoping nobody ever needs to go through a situation like we did, but our attorney removed a LOT of financial and other stress from our lives.
In a nutshell, DW was in a 2 car MVA late last year and had serious injuries. While at the ED, I learned that she was likely at fault. When I had a little time, I called our CPA/attorney for advice and he suggested a colleague of his, who I contacted. The next day, this individual called me and held our hands pretty much from that point until final closure about 6 months later.
Had we simply pled guilty, we would be looking at points and fines and possibly more. This attorney was approachable by text, phone and email at all hours. He stood by DW at the 2 court appearances. He called a couple times out of the blue to follow up on DW's recovery. He found ways to present the totality of the incident and was able to get the judgment down to a parking ticket. That last part blew me away, there is no way a mere mortal like me could have done that. Our out of pocket is $1000 retainer and $243 for court costs and fine.
My takeaway is that your EF is a good fit for this type of expense. A bad situation can be made not-so-bad with good representation, which also reduces stress significantly.
