EvenUp Law provides legal services focused on personal injury, trucking accidents, and medical malpractice. The firm operates in multiple states, including Texas, Pennsylvania, California, Indiana, and Georgia. Its approach involves detailed case preparation and argumentation, which has earned praise for being thorough and cohesive. EvenUp Law uses a contingency fee model, meaning they only receive payment if they win a case, taking a percentage of the settlement or judgment. What sets EvenUp apart from competitors is their ability to analyze cases like an adjuster or defense attorney, which enhances their preparedness during negotiations or trials. This method has led to higher settlement amounts and quicker resolutions for clients, reducing their stress. The firm also maintains a database of similar injuries and values, which aids in providing accurate damage estimates.
