Attorney Referrals in Maryland

        Miller & Zois represents clients who are seriously injured in truck or auto accidents or by medical malpractice or a defective product.  The majority of our cases come from referring lawyers.

Results

        Miller & Zois has a proven record of achieving outstanding results for our clients and our referring lawyres in personal injury cases through settlement, arbitration and trial.  In one recent case, a jury awarded $8 million to the family of a young man killed in an auto accident in a case where the insurance company made no offer.  In 2008, we have already settle two seven figure cases and a large number of high six figure settlements, many on cases where there was little or no initial offer. Our firm’s work has received local and national acclaim.  Lawyers Weekly USA wrote an in-depth article on the tactics and strategies Miller & Zois utilizes to maximize recoveries at trial.  Ronald V. Miller, Jr. is the author of a two volume treatise on on maximizing the value of personal injury cases.  

The Lawyer’s Lawyer

       The majority of the firm’s cases come by referral from other lawyers.  Many of the referrals are from lawyers who do not handle personal injury or contingent fee cases, but the firm also receives referrals from other personal injury lawyers that do not have the time or resources to properly pursue catastrophic and/or complex cases.

Keeping the Referring Lawyer Involved in the Case

        Miller & Zois establishes a co-counsel relationship with its referring lawyers.  The firm invites referring lawyers to remain involved as little or as much as they wish.  While referring lawyers receive a smaller percentage of the recovery, it is not uncommon for referring lawyer to receive a great deal more in co-counsel attorneys’ fees than they would have collected if they had kept the case.  Most importantly, the lawyer comfortably knows that the client has been directed to counsel with the training and resources to maximize the value of their case.

        The attorneys at Miller & Zois are committed to giving back to the community.  Its website, www.millerandzois.com, is one of the leading resources in the country not only for injury victims but for lawyers handling injury cases.  Mr. Miller is a professor at the University of Baltimore Law School, instructing students in Insurance Law, and a prolific writer on personal injury and insurance topics.  Laura Zois and Rodney M.

Referring Your Case to Us

Our law practice is largely based on referrals from other lawyers who do not have either the experience or the resources our lawyers have and expend in every case. We also work with many out-of-state lawyers with clients in Maryland.  Our firm partners with other lawyers that refer serious injury cases (accident, malpractice and product liability) to our firm and splits co-counsel fees with referring lawyers consistent with Maryland Rule 1.5(e).
