Description
John Macfarlane chose to pursue personal injury law because he recognized the potential an injury lawyer has to make a real difference in the lives of everyday people. Many injured clients who come to our Salt Lake City practice are unable to work, attend school, or afford costly hourly fees for an attorney. John Macfarlane and our team are pleased to offer free consultations and contingency services so clients can receive fair compensation.

The reason I chose injury law is because it
00:00:08.670 --> 00:00:14.240
is the 1 of the few areas where
you can affect real change
00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:19.840
and get good results for your clients,
where your interests are aligned,
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:24.720
and it doesn't matter how rich, poor,
well connected your clients are.
00:00:24.740 --> 00:00:27.400
I had clients who are have been disabled
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:31.120
for years, you know, clients
that have been a paraplegic for years.
00:00:31.150 --> 00:00:33.360
No income.
We're unable to go to school.
00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:36.160
I've had construction workers as clients.
I've had doctors as clients.
00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:37.600
I've had lawyers as clients.
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:39.880
I'm fortunately, we live in a world where
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.760
the cost of legal fees is enough
that in in a medical malpractice case,
00:00:44.790 --> 00:00:49.880
if if my wife was injured and I needed
to hire myself at an hourly rate.
00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:52.600
I likely couldn't afford it
all the way through trial.
00:00:52.630 --> 00:00:54.040
It would be so expensive.
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:59.560
What I really love about what I do
and drove me to do this type of law is
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.640
I'm tied at the hip
with my clients financially.
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.160
I think there's a tendency
for many people to believe, look.
00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:08.560
Lawyers are looking out for them else.
They're greedy.
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:09.920
They're looking out for the money.
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.680
And I always joke with my clients and say,
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:13.440
Even if you assume that's
true, please don't.
00:01:13.440 --> 00:01:15.200
But if you do, that's great for you.
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:16.320
Because guess what?
00:01:16.330 --> 00:01:18.080
If I think if I just work this much
00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:20.240
harder, I can get this
much better result for you.
00:01:20.270 --> 00:01:22.080
It's a better result for all of us.
00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:24.800
My interests are the exact same
of theirs from the beginning.
00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:27.720
Number 1, try and make change.
00:01:27.800 --> 00:01:30.360
Number 2, get the best possible result
00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:34.520
for my client because it's possible
result for me and the law firm as well.
00:01:34.550 --> 00:01:36.360
I love that relationship I have
00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:39.320
with my clients, and that's why
I chose to do this area of law.
