What sets Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys apart from other personal injury law firms
There are many personal injury law firms out there but they are not all created equal. When choosing a personal injury attorney for your case, some questions to ask include: How long has this lawyer been practicing? What size settlements and verdicts have they won recently? Do they have trial experience? What will they be like to work with – will my case get the attention it needs? What is their reputation in the legal community?
We are real trial lawyers with real resources. At Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys, our partners each have decades of experience in personal injury law – including experience trying cases in front of a jury. While many injury lawyers have never been to trial, we have brought numerous cases to verdict and are always prepared to take your case to trial if the defendant won’t agree to an appropriate settlement. We have won dozens of multimillion-dollar results for our clients. Furthermore, we invest the resources necessary to build a winning case. That means we work with world-class investigators, experts, medical professionals, technologists, and more. We invest in you.

The Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys Mission
Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys was founded on one simple principle: Through the civil justice system, we can be a voice for the voiceless in our society, and provide all people with equal access to justice, even against the most powerful entities. As a family of lawyers, the practice of law isn’t merely a career choice; it is the practical application of our core values. Since 1959, our firm has successfully fought for justice and compensation for people like you. We have developed lasting relationships with our personal injury clients who rely on us for our legal expertise and depend on us to be compassionate, responsive, and accessible while fighting relentlessly to make things right.
We Do Not Get Paid Unless We Win Your Personal Injury Case
Many people avoid hiring a lawyer because they think they all charge by the hour and at astronomical rates. At Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys, our personal injury lawyers work on a contingent fee basis. That means that the attorney only gets paid if he or she wins money damages for you – the client. The fee agreement is usually a standard percentage of the amount recovered. This makes it possible for anyone to hire a top personal injury lawyer. It gives everyone access to the justice system and representation that is equal to the best that insurance companies, doctors, and other defendants can hire.
The contingent fee agreement protects you from financial risk associated with your case – we invest the funds and resources into your case, and if we don’t obtain a settlement or verdict on your behalf, you owe us nothing. Claimants who hire an injury lawyer to represent them tend to receive more than three times more in settlement money than those without representation.
