Personal Injury Attorney Referral Process

If you would like to partner with Zinda Law Group, reach out to us at (888) 281-6991 or fill out the form below with your details and we will call you back. After discussing the case with you, one of our experienced accident attorneys will assess whether they can meet your client’s needs. Then, you and your referral attorney will discuss the structure of your referral relationship. The structure may depend on state laws and workload involved.

Personal Injury Attorney Referral Fee

State law regulates referral fees. In Texas, referral fees for personal injury cases between lawyers are permitted, but some requirements must be met.

In some cases, attorney referral fees will be paid in a ‘proportion of services’ manner. In this situation, both the referring lawyer and the new lawyer perform substantial services on behalf of the client. The services performed have to be something beyond simply being hired by the client and forwarding the case. The legal fee is split between the two lawyers in proportion to the services performed.

In other cases, you may agree to joint responsibility for the client’s case. In this case, the referring lawyer must make a reasonable investigation into the client’s legal matter, choose a competent handling attorney, monitor the legal work after referring the case, keep the client informed about the matter, and assist the handling attorney when necessary.

In both of these situations, the client must consent in writing to the arrangement before the association can take place. The client must consent to all of the lawyers and firms involved, whether the fees will be divided according to the proportion of services provided by each attorney, and the share of the fee each lawyer or firm will receive.

Personal Injury Referral Agreement

When you enter into a referral agreement, the responsibilities and obligations for each attorney will be clearly expressed. The percentage of fees the referring attorney is expected to receive will also be included in the referral agreement.

Referral vs Co-Counsel

If you want to continue working with a client on a case but need help, seeking co-counsel is a great solution. With a referral, you will have less interaction with the case after passing it on to another attorney. By partnering with a co-counsel, you will stay with your client while also working alongside another firm.

This arrangement benefits both you and your client, because you will now have the resources of another firm at your disposal, and you will be able to utilize another lawyer’s or team’s strengths, knowledge, experience for your client’s case.

If you are practicing in a new area of law or are inexperienced as to a certain subject matter, partnering with a co-counsel is an excellent way to gain experience while still providing competent and ethical representation to your client.

If you expect the case to be difficult or time-consuming and your firm does not have the capability to see the case through, gaining assistance from other lawyers is an ideal way to pool resources and manage your caseload.

Zinda Law Group has had many successful co-counsel relationships with attorneys and clients throughout the years. If you or your client would benefit from working in partnership with our legal team, contact us today at (888) 281-6991.

Common Misconceptions Regarding Attorney Referrals

When referring a client to another attorney, there are often a few misconceptions:

1) Referring a client means I’m unqualified.

Attorneys decide to partner with another firm for numerous reasons, including sharing resources, managing caseload, and gaining access to experts in specialized areas of law – it does not mean you are not qualified.

2) Bringing in Another Lawyer Looks Bad.

Referral arrangements are conducted for the client’s best interest. In fact, having a resource on hand to refer clients to may give the impression that your firm is better connected, thus giving your client a better sense of trust. Referring a client to another lawyer is preferable to losing a case you could’ve won.

3) Bringing in Co-Counsel from a Well-Known Firm is Only Useful to Garner Name Recognition.

While some law firms may be well known, many larger firms also have resources that can make a partnership more beneficial, such as more legal staff and access to a greater amount of resources. A referral should be pursued because it is in the best interest of your client.

Choosing Your Referral Partner for a Personal Injury Case

When choosing the attorney you will refer your client to, you should keep in mind what should best help your client. Depending on the type of case, your background, and experience, you should keep the following questions in mind:

– What are their qualifications and experience? – Is their experience related to my case? How does their experience compare to mine? – What is their reputation like amongst their clients? Checking out their client reviews on their website or Google may help you answer this question – Will I be able to work with this person?
