If you have been injured at work or by someone else’s negligence, you have lots of lawyers to choose from. How do you find the law firm that is right for you? At McCarthy, Rowden, Baker & Cannon, we are not the attorneys whose faces you see advertised on the sides of buses and park benches. Much of our work comes by word of mouth through other professionals and clients we have helped in the past. Here are some of the many reasons Illinois injury victims choose McCarthy, Rowden, Baker & Cannon.
MRBC has been a fixture in Decatur and Central Illinois for over 50 years, since attorney and state legislator Robert W. McCarthy founded the firm. We have deep roots in this community, and a reputation for honest, accessible, effective representation. Unlike many personal injury and workers’ compensation lawyers who advertise here, our firm has been based in Decatur and Macon County for decades.
We’re not a general practice firm that does a little of this and a little of that. Our entire focus has always been helping Illinois injury victims, whether they were hurt at work, on the road, or elsewhere. Because of our concentration on workers’ compensation and personal injury law, we have a deeper and more thorough understanding of these practice areas than any general practitioner.
Our many years in practice, combined with our exclusive focus on personal injury and workers’ compensation, means that we have handled more cases and earned more experience in our practice areas than most of our competitors. That wealth of experience enables us to better analyze cases and strategize to get our clients the best possible results.
An injury and its aftermath are stressful and anxiety-provoking. Most injury victims have lots of questions about the legal process and about the future. It’s important to be able to get the answers you need from someone you trust.
That’s why our attorneys actually spend time with our clients right from the start, and continue to be accessible as the case progresses. When you need to speak with your experienced attorney, you can—you won’t be passed off to a staff member or inexperienced associate who doesn’t know you or your case. We know that it doesn’t just matter how your case ends; it’s important for you to feel supported and heard throughout the process.
When you have been injured at work or by someone else’s negligence, getting the compensation you deserve isn’t always easy. Individuals who have been hurt are at a disadvantage against large insurance companies with armies of lawyers who have shot down thousands of claims. To put it simply, we don’t like bullies. We believe in fair treatment, and we use our decades of experience to stand up for our clients and level the playing field against insurance companies.
If you have been hurt, you deserve an attorney who will listen to you and fight for what you deserve. To learn more about how McCarthy, Rowden, Baker & Cannon can help you, contact us today to schedule a complimentary, no-obligation consultation.
