When someone suffers a catastrophic injury, choosing the right attorney can be one of the most important decisions they'll ever make. But how do you know who to trust?

In this episode of Velvet Hammer, Senior Managing Partner Karen Koehler and Senior Partner Mo Hamoudi join Mike Todd to walk through a realistic personal injury scenario—from the moments after a serious collision to hiring a lawyer, dealing with insurance companies, and understanding contingency fees. Along the way, they pull back the curtain on how plaintiff's firms operate, what separates trial lawyers from high-volume settlement firms, and why insurance companies pay close attention to the attorney representing an injured client.
