If you’ve suffered a traumatic injury after an accident you are probably overwhelmed with many difficulties. One of the most pressing is figuring out how to get the compensation you will need to get you through this challenging time and make you whole going forward. This is where an experienced, compassionate and local personal injury lawyer comes in. If you do an online search for “personal injury attorneys” you’ll find endless options. Why decide to go with an attorney in your area? Here are 5 reasons you’ll appreciate as your case moves forward.

  1. Learn upfront about your lawyer’s reputation. A personal injury lawyer that is part of your community has worked with countless others in your city or town. You’ll be able to talk to people who live close by about their experiences with a local attorney before you commit.
  2. It’s easy to meet with your personal injury lawyer in person. Like a doctor, a personal injury lawyer is someone with whom you want to establish a relationship and be able to easily communicate. By hiring an attorney in your community you can meet face to face and get to know the person who’s working for you. While technology makes it possible to communicate long distances, there are parts of the legal process where you will need to meet in person with your attorney. Being local eliminates expensive and time-consuming trips which will also be painful depending on your injuries.
  3. Proximity to witnesses. People who saw your accident happen will provide key evidence in your case. A local attorney is familiar with the area and will have an advantage over someone from out of town in tracking down and talking to witnesses.
  4. Established relationships with local professionals. A winning personal injury case may require supporting evidence from professionals such as health care providers, law enforcement, and insurance adjusters. An attorney who works where your case is being adjudicated knows who to turn to for reliable and credible testimony—and who to avoid.
  5. Familiarity with the local court system. Someone practicing in your area knows well the local laws, opposing attorneys, and judges which will prove invaluable in successfully pursuing your case.

I highly recommend The Tiemann Law Firm! I had never before been in a situation where I sustained injury and had to seek legal representation. I was nervous, traumatized, and had no idea what to expect. Jelena, Peter, and their staff walked me through each step of the process. They explained everything in detail. They patiently answered all my questions, responded quickly to every email, text message, phone call, etc. I felt totally prepared for each new phase of the legal process. Furthermore, they were fearless in their defense of me. In certain situations, when I felt attacked or scared my attorney protected me like I was family. Their diligence, honesty, integrity, and compassion provided a true sense of healing and closure for my family and I. The Tiemann Law Firm accomplished more for me than I ever thought possible and I am forever grateful.

Here's the thing... Nobody really thinks much about lawyers until they need one.  Well, we needed one!  The Tieman Law Firm came through for us in a big way. They were professional, courteous, thorough, and had excellent staff as well.  Highly recommended...

No one wants to have to hire a lawyer, but if you do. I prefer Tiemann Law. They helped a family member who was injured on the job, and the company did not want to compensate him even though, the injury occurred on the job on company time. Jelena was always professional in explaining the lengthy process of fighting a large corporation. 2 years later he finally is receiving the deserved compensation.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I was in a car accident a while back where I was injured and had to miss work for an extended period of time.  After nearly a year of fighting with the insurance company with no results and no progress, I met with Jelena Tiemann.  I couldn't have asked for a more responsive and supportive advocate.  We quickly reached a settlement and I finally was able to move from the stress and burden of feuding with my insurance.  I highly recommending meeting with Jelena if you're in need of a lawyer.
