In the aftermath of an accident, you’re likely overwhelmed, in pain, and trying to figure out your next steps. It’s during this vulnerable time that many people turn to the most visible lawyers they know: the ones on billboards, TV commercials, and radio ads. But when it comes to getting the compensation you truly deserve, hiring a so-called "billboard lawyer" may be one of the costliest decisions you make.
At Hasty Pope, we’ve seen firsthand how important it is to choose a law firm that doesn't just talk about fighting for you—but actually does it, in and out of the courtroom.
The Problem with Billboard Lawyers
"Billboard lawyers" often focus on volume over value. Their business model depends on settling as many cases as quickly as possible. While that might be profitable for their firm, it can mean leaving thousands—or even millions—on the table for you.
Insurance companies know which firms go to trial and which don’t. And guess what? They lowball lawyers who they know won’t fight back. These quick-settlement firms rarely litigate, which means they have little leverage to push for fair compensation.
Trial Experience = Real Leverage
At Hasty Pope, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Why? Because that’s what it takes to get top value for your injury claim. Insurance companies respect—and fear—firms with a history of successful jury trials.
Consider this: in a recent case, a young father was hit on Highway 575. The insurance company initially offered a shockingly low settlement, nowhere near what was needed to cover his hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills. We didn’t back down. We prepared to litigate. We built the case, gathered depositions, and brought in expert witnesses. The result? A $1.25 million settlement—many times more than their original offer.
That result didn’t happen by accident. It happened because we refused to settle for less.
Why It Matters to You
When you hire a firm like Hasty Pope, you’re hiring a team that:
- Has decades of real trial experience
- Is known and respected by insurance companies
- Fights for maximum compensation, not quick settlements
- Treats every case—big or small—with the attention and care it deserves
When the stakes are high, you don’t want a volume-driven firm that sees you as just another file on the desk. You want seasoned litigators who know the courtroom, understand your pain, and will go the distance to get you justice.
Choose the Right Lawyer for the Fight Ahead
Billboard lawyers may promise a fast check—but fast doesn’t mean fair. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a car crash, slip and fall, or workplace accident in Canton, Gainesville, or anywhere in North Georgia, you deserve a firm that puts your outcome first.
