Although our home turf is obviously the Baltimore-Washington area, Miller & Zois major personal injury cases across the country. Our personal injury lawyers have handled cases in over 30 states, and we have recovered millions in compensation for victims in out-of-state cases. We do this by hiring local counsel in the jurisdiction where the case is located. Often, our local counsel is a local law firm that wanted to bring us in to help handle the case because of the size and complexity of the claim. If we collect any money in the case, we split the contingency fee with local counsel. This does not result in any additional attorneys’ fees or expenses to the client. Our percentage fee remains the exactly the same.
So what are you getting for no extra charge? You are getting two lawyers for the price of one and you are getting something even more valuable: seasoned lawyers with a track record of success to put you in the best position for maximizing the value of your case. You want to find the best lawyer to get you as much money for your claim as you possibly can.
For out-out-state cases with local counsel, our personal injury attorneys only consider larger cases involving death or very serious injuries. Here is a summary of some of the jurisdictions outside Maryland that we frequently litigate cases in.
