Over the years, I Attorney Eric T. Kirk been witness to some very cogent reasons to hire a personal injury lawyer:
- Always Objective
While frustrations, anger, and confusion can affect your abilities to see facts, or, to see facts from another perspective, an attorney pays particular attention to the case and, ideally avoids making rash or ill-advised decisions based on emotion.

- Experience
