Attorney Jane Leger – The Importance of Acting Quickly

Ferguson Law Firm Attorney Jane Leger explains the importance of a trial attorney.

A lot of times, especially when there's been a death in the family and there's a question about whether that death was the result of wrongful conduct, families will say, "I'm not sure I need a lawyer right now," or, "I've got to focus on some other things before I seek legal counsel." My response to families is always this: the companies are not waiting around to decide what they need to do. They have their legal team at work right away.

If you don't get a legal team working for you right away, evidence that's critical to your case can be lost. Things can be destroyed, altered, hidden away, or witnesses tampered with, in ways that are difficult to undo later. So it's important to get legal representation early.
