Price Benowitz Personal Injury Lawyer Services Review

Services Offered and Credentials

Price Benowitz is a full-service law firm comprised of 40 attorneys who offers legal representation in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. The company serves clients seeking counsel in a wide array of legal specialties, including personal injury cases, criminal defense, family law, and estate planning. Some attorneys at the firm practice in just one area of the law, while others are generalists. Within the category of personal injury, Price Benowitz represents clients in both common and fairly esoteric claims, from auto accidents and slip-and-falls to products liability, medical malpractice, and mass tort (classic action) suits.

You can read about the attorneys employed by Price Benowitz on the firm's website. The firm provides detailed bios on each of its attorneys that include the attorney's educational background, areas of specialty, awards received, AVVO ratings, and a personal statement in written or video form. In some cases, the firm posts video testimonials from their attorneys' clients. 

Attorney client relationships are built on trust and confidence, among other things. The attorney biographies that Price Benowitz publishes, which are considerably more comprehensive than many others we've seen, can be useful to clients who want to "pre-interview" the attorneys they might be meeting with. Personal injury lawsuits can be stressful. Having an attorney you click with can alleviate some of the unpleasantness involved in litigation.

Price Benowitz makes it easy to narrow the bios it publishes down to those attorneys who practice personal injury law. Just look for the pull-down menu at the top of the firm's website labeled "Meet the Team" and select personal injury. About a dozen of the firm's 40 attorneys represent clients in personal injury matters.

Communication

The first line of communication potential clients may choose is conversing with Price Benowitz's chatbot. The chatbot serves primarily as a receptionist whose job it is to get clients to schedule a free consultation. The bot was not programmed to answer the few basic questions about the firm we asked. So if you're interested in learning more about personal injury law or asking questions about your specific case, you're best off calling the firm and speaking with a live attorney or legal assistant. Price Benowitz, like most personal injury law firms, offers free, no obligation consultations. Many clients interview more than one attorney during the process of finding representation. The experience is very educational, with attorneys providing educated opinions based on the actual facts of an individual client's case. Sometimes an attorney will decline to take a case and during a consultation, he or she will help you understand why your case may not have legal merit.

Online Resources

Price Benowitz publishes a wide range of resources on its website. For each of its personal injury practice areas, the firm provides a general, but thoughtful overview. In the case of broad categories like wrongful death, the firm provides more specific information that drills down to particular case circumstances. There are helpful FAQ sections throughout the site. If you'd rather learn by watching, not reading, Price Benowitz also publishes dozens of videos, including some that feature its attorneys appearing on major news broadcasts. The firm also seeks to educate clients on the costs of representation and explains how the contingent fee structure used in personal injury cases works.
