    You might wonder why we have a reference on our site to the Wizard of Oz.<\/p>\n

    Here is the problem in Michigan: We don\u2019t have specialization. So when you see these ads on buses, billboards, or television, you have no idea if the person whose face you see, without any accurate information, is the right lawyer for your case.<\/p>\n

    What is his or her background? Does he or she try cases? How have they done when they\u2019ve been attempting to cases? In Michigan, we don\u2019t have specialization. So, anyone can tell you that they are a personal injury lawyer. Anyone can tell you they can handle your complicated medical malpractice, product liability, or automobile accident cases.<\/p>\n

    The problem is that it\u2019s like the Wizard of Oz in Michigan. Remember at the end of the movie, when Dorothy and the Lion and the Tinman finally get into the castle, and they get to the great Oz and the curtains are separated and it\u2019s just a man, with a bunch of technology and he was nothing. He didn\u2019t know anything, and he wasn\u2019t anything special. He had common sense, but that\u2019s all he had. He used technology to make himself the great Oz. That happens with advertising because anyone can tell you they\u2019re a personal injury lawyer.<\/p>\n

    And it\u2019s not like medicine, where doctors have board certification, where you can go into the Yellow Pages and find out who the board-certified plastic surgeon or gastroenterologist is. It is not like that. Anyone can say that they are a personal injury lawyer.<\/p>\n

    So I\u2019m glad I got your attention with the Wizard of Oz. I\u2019m just going to talk about three different areas that we suggest that you look into and inquire about before you hire a lawyer.<\/p>\n
