Selecting a Chantix Lawyer
Audet & Partners, LLP is a nationally recognized trial firm located in San Francisco and affiliated with firms throughout the United States. The firm attorneys have concentrated their practice on the prosecution of complex individual, mass tort and class action cases.
You’ve probably surfed the internet, and found several law firms that are handling Chantix cases, what do you do next?
First, call or email each law firm and ask for any information available on the lawyer and firm. Then review that information very carefully. Nothing beats a professional resume - called a curriculum vitae or "c.v." -- which will provide detailed information about professional training, experience, academic record, honors, awards, publications, speaking engagements, bar and community activities.
An experienced lawyer's record should speak for itself. Check the results this attorney has obtained for clients who have needed the same kinds of services. Learn if he or she generally works with defective medical product cases (such as Chantix), since specialization is to your advantage.
When you call for your appointment, describe your Chantix problem clearly. When did you or a lowed one use Chantix? How long did you use it for? What injuries did you suffer? For example, “My husband took Chantix for two weeks in late 2007 and then committed suicide.”
When you meet with your prospective "Chantix lawyer" (either in person or on the phone), be prepared to give a clear summary of your situation and the history of your Chantix injuries. It is helpful to bring a one page summary of all of your relevant information, including dates, times, names and addresses (that is, the basic "who, what, where, when, why and how" information).
Also come prepared with all the documents that will help you tell your story (especially prescriptions and medical records). By examining this information, your prospective Chantix lawyer can quickly determine whether he or she is in a position to take your case. Having all the records, hospital reports (and everything else you have gathered) also means that you are serious about your Chantix case, and that you mean business.
No interview would be complete without finding out what your own responsibilities would be. Ask if there are any tasks you would be involved in, and what your role in decision making would be.
On the other hand, if you fail to protect your legal rights now, you may lose the right to be compensated for your harm. (Persons seeking to preserve any potential legal claims should contact an attorney promptly, since all states have mandatory time periods in which lawsuits must be filed with the courts; otherwise, they may be forever barred.)
Our firm has a great deal of experience in representing plaintiffs in "drug" cases, and in fact is currently pursuing numerous cases against some of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies.
In addition, we have the resources to handle our own cases. This means that when you call our firm, you talk to your own lawyer who has been assigned to your own case.
