Referrals to California Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Attorneys

"Jackson & Wilson came highly recommended to us from a Superior Court Judge who is a good friend of ours. We were pleased with both the high level of professionalism and the constant concern for our best interest. We were always kept well informed of the status of our case. We feel highly confident in referring Jackson & Wilson to others."

-- Mr. Chris B (Local contractor and Laguna Niguel family man)

"Your firm helped me through one of the most difficult time of my life. You were all so gracious about any questions I had. The speed with which you brought my legal case to a fair and fast conclusion was so appreciated and I am sure I would not be in the position I am in if you hadn’t resolved it and got the monetary help for me."

-- Ms. Elaine A. (Retired and active senior citizen)

Referrals and "Joint Partner" Opportunities

Attorneys- Make More Money Without Taking On Any New Clients or Cases

For almost twenty-two years we have enjoyed "win-win" attorney to attorney referral relationships with hundreds of attorneys in California and dozens more across the world. In full compliance with California State Bar Rule 2-200, we always look forward to paying generous attorney to attorney referral fees immediately after receiving payment on a final settlement or judgment.

Here's are several things which differentiate us from other plaintiff firms

California has allowed attorney to attorney referral fees since 1975. "It assures the best possible representation for a client and the referral fee is an economic incentive to less capable lawyers to seek out experienced specialists to handle a case."
Moran v. Harris, (1982) 131 Cal.App.3d 913

First, all of our partners have extensive settlement and trial experience with complicated multimillion dollar cases. All are "AV" rated and actively involved in local, state and national trial lawyer organizations. Our firm is also listed in the prestigious Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers. The bottom line is that we have a passion for helping others and enjoy rolling up our sleeves and working hard to protect their rights. We believe that the attorney and client testimonials posted at our web site provided independent third-party validation of this fact. We invite you to take a moment and see for yourself what other people (attorneys and clients) have had to say about our attorneys and firm.

If we accept an incoming referral (yes, we are somewhat selective about the types of cases we agree to take on), that referral will be represented by experienced counsel with the drive, dedication and resources to get the job done! Most of the cases which we do accept involve serious personal injury, wrongful death and business litigation.

We believe there's a lack of appreciation by many attorneys who receive referrals. The reasons probably include a failed understanding as to the importance of referrals, disorganization, inattentiveness and in some cases, the intentional refusal to pay previously promised referral fees. In fact, we've referred cases to other firms and never even received a "Thank You" letter. Getting updated is almost impossible and when we check for status, it's not unusual to talk to a paralegal who has no idea what's going- that the case was referred by our office and that we are entitled to an agreed to referral fee. It's scary to think about what amount of referral fee revenue has probably "slipped through the cracks" over the years (note- for the past 10 years we've become very careful about who we refer cases out to. If you think your firm should be on our outgoing referral list, give us a call to discuss setting up a win-win relationship).

Monthly updates and prompt payments

To avoid this problem for attorneys who are thoughtful enough to refer cases to our firm, we make sure to keep them updated on all case developments once a month via their choice of mail, email, facsimile or telephone. They're also free to call for an update any time they wish. Our referral agreement complies with all State Bar Rules and specifically allows us to do this.

Once the case is resolved, the agreed to referral fee is promptly paid with a detailed letter confirming all final disbursements and copies of all applicable documents. We think it's also important to point out that in our final letter to the client, we specifically recommend that the client contact YOU (the original referring attorney) for all future legal questions or needs. We even include your name and contact information. Without exception, all prior attorney-client relationships are always respected.

We understand how important and valuable attorney to attorney referrals can be and because of this, treat each referred client and referral source like gold. Our goal is to develop a long term win-win relationship with the referring attorney.

Each year, we pay out substantial sums to other attorneys relative to referrals and we'd like to include your name on our list of recipients. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss the possibility of future client referrals. If you're busy, trust what we're telling you and simply want to make a referral in the future, when you do, just let our staff know the name of the referral and we'll take care of it from that point forward. It's not unusual for a 60 second referral phone call from the referring attorney or an assistant to be worth thousands, and even tens of thousands of dollars in referral fees down the road.

Let us provide added value to your existing client relationships. We're standing by to provide your client referrals with exceptional legal services. We'll even keep you updated along the way! Feel free to contact us today!

Testimonials From Other Attorneys...

"He (Mitch) has tremendous litigation skills. I've never known another lawyer more prepared or focused. He has the ability to dissect a case much like a skilled surgeon, with absolute calm. Nothing seems to rattle this guy or distract him from his goal on a case, which of course, makes him extremely tough to beat. He's also one of the most ethical lawyers I've ever know."

-- Attorney Charles H. Giampolo, former Head Counsel for Fortune 500 Company Wyle Electronics

"I had the pleasure of trying a case against Mitch last year. I say pleasure because although he was clearly a zealous advocate for his client, he was also a gentleman and a professional. Mitch was always prepared to ethically handle the factual and legal issues that the case presented. If I had a claim, I would want Mitch to handle it"

-- Dan L.- Defense Attorney/Senior Partner, Orange County, California.

"I have known Mitch Jackson and Lisa Wilson for over twelve years. They are aggressive and competent attorneys who excel at obtaining maximum recoveries for their clients. I have referred several clients to them over the years and will continue to do so. I have found Mitch and Lisa to be very ethical!"

-- Mr. Doug C.- Senior Partner Defense Attorney, Orange County, California

"My compliments to Jackson & Wilson come from opposing their firm in several cases. They are aggressive for their clients, but they accomplish their results with the utmost in professionalism. While collegial to their opponents, there is no question their clients always come first."

-- Mr. Tom M.- Defense Attorney, Orange County, California.

"As an opponent of Jackson & Wilson, my legal skills have been put to a test. As a friend of Mitch and Lisa, I know they are as caring and sincere as they are skilled professionals."

-- Greg A.- Defense Attorney, Orange County, California.

“Over the fifteen years my professional business association with you has developed substantially during both my independent practice of law and as an inside Corporate Counsel to my client constituency. Over the years I have received only the best responses from clients and friends of mine that I have referred to your law firm. As you know, my longstanding association with the Wyle companies has allowed me to give good advice to employees when related to personal injury problems and legal situations they face. That good advice in the areas of personal injury has always been “Give Mitch a call, he’ll take care of you.” Thank you for the longstanding professional and personal relationship and thank you for treating my clients and friends in a top-notch professional manner when handling their cases. All the best.”

-- Charles G. - General Counsel, Legal Dept., VEBA Electronics Group/ Defense Attorney

“I have enjoyed a long standing relationship with Jackson & Wilson. Mr. Jackson and Ms. Wilson have always handled my referrals with competence, integrity, and fairness.”

--Jeff D. - Senior Partner/ Defense Attorney
