Attorney Referrals

The lawyers at the Delventhal Law Office LLC are frequently brought into complicated or difficult plaintiffs' cases by other attorneys. We receive referrals from Indiana defense attorneys with conflicts of interest, solo or small practitioners who want to outsource cases involving significant attorney hours and case expenses, and out-of-state attorneys looking for a local lawyer. A large part our client base results from attorney referrals in all types of Plaintiffs' cases. In addition, our worker's compensation practice section accepts cases on a referral and co-counsel basis, paying referral and co-counsel fees per the Indiana Rules of Professional Conduct.

The advantages to associating with the Delventhal Law Office LLC include:

1. Regular updates by email:

Have you ever referred a case to another attorney and found that you never hear from that attorney again, or you only hear from them if you make repeated inquires? Not with our firm. We will keep you informed on the status of your referral on a regular basis by email. If you refer multiple cases to our firm, we will send you a quarterly spreadsheet with case status, anticipated date of resolution, and anticipated attorney fees.

2. Flexible referral and co-counsel fees:

Indiana ethical rules allow for a fee split between attorneys not in the same firm as long as (1) each attorney assumes joint responsibility for the representation, (2) the client agrees to the arrangement, including the share each attorney will receive, in writing, and (3) the total fee is reasonable. See Indiana Rule of Professional Conduct 1.4(e), as amended and effective January 1, 2005. Our philosophy is to be flexible when agreeing to a fee split or co-counsel fee, depending on your ongoing involvement in the case, who pays expenses, and the overall value of the claim. When the case you refer settles or we obtain a judgment and collect our attorney fee, we will immediately send you a check for the referral or co-counsel fees, along with a settlement sheet outlining the client's distribution.
