- Why should I work with AG?
AG operates under the recognition that certain law firms sometimes lack the experience and resources to effectively handle larger personal injury cases. We also believe that the quality of a party’s representation often has a direct on the outcome of that party’s case. By building a network of lawyers and law firms across the country, we seek to connect injured parties with attorneys who have the experience and resources to effectively handle their personal injury claims. Our goal is to maximize recovery for injured parties in this manner.
AG works to confirm the professional ability of each affiliated lawyer and law firm, consistent with the goal of facilitating the best outcome for each case, and it is intended that each case be handled from beginning to end in conformity with the highest ethical standards and all applicable rules of professional responsibility.
