Are you in legal trouble? Are you looking to sue?
Before you hire your next lawyer, read this book first!

It's Never Been Easier to Hire the Wrong Attorney is an eye-opening law-centered book by David W. Craig that enlightens the public on the many schemes and scams that unscrupulous attorneys use to get your money.

Who would've thought?

Seriously.

We tend to trust lawyers. Why? Well, because, similar to doctors, we assume that they put a lot of time and effort into gaining the qualifications necessary to enter the profession. Indeed, being a lawyer requires a license, but did you know that having a license to practice law is different from being board certified? That's right, some lawyers aren't even board certified!

Yet we still tend to trust attorneys. Why? Because many of us simply lack the knowledge, experience, and know-how about this wild, wacky, crazy, and overly-complicated legal system that our genius lawmakers codified over the course of 200+ years.

The truth of the matter is, no one attorney has all the answers. No one attorney is a specialist and expert in every area and every field.

And guess what? Shockingly, there are some very predatory attorneys and legal firms out there who just want to capitalize on your person tragedy to make a buck.

Unbelievable but true!

David W. Craig is an experienced, award-winning attorney who has seen it all, much to his chagrin. He crafted this remarkable book to warn the good, vulnerable folks out there about these predatory practices.

And, gosh, are they shocking!

In this book, we learned about "runners." These are people who work under the table for unscrupulous attorneys to basically ambush unsuspecting people with biased, paid-for "recommendations" for legal representation. In other words, these guys will show up at a funeral for a victim of drunk driving or wrongful death, then say to their next of kin, "Hey, I knew your dead loved one. Here's a card for a lawyer I trust to get you compensation for their death."

And, of course, this is all BS. They don't actually know you or your dead loved one. Furthermore, the person they're recommending is unscrupulous enough to pay someone to lie to and deceive you, what's to stop them from giving you shoddy service, scamming you out of the majority of your judgment, or worse?

What more? Some of the worst lawyers even act as their own runners. They will put their licenses, careers, and reputations on the line for a big payday.

Their also also other scammy lawyer tactics like buying out advertising space on their competitor's pages via Google Ads, so they appear at the top. Or they'll claim to be owned and operated in areas they aren't actually owned and operated in so that search engines like Google are more likely to recommend them. Some even use a wrong or misleading name, or they hide their name entirely.

What a bunch of cheaters!

Oh, and don't forget that just because an attorney appears in a commercial or is seen on a billboard, it doesn't make them credible or reputable, it just means they had deep enough pockets to pay for the advertising. Haven't you watched Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul? Saul was great at advertising. He wasn't really great at being a good person more than half the time.

This book is great at encouraging and educating people on doing their due diligence and staying alert for these predatory practices.

It's also great at educating people on how to find and choose an attorney to fit their unique situations and needs. For example, an attorney who specializes in patents isn't necessarily going to be good at handling a divorce or an accident case. She or he might not be knowledgeable at all about those things. Why hire them?

As the book says, you wouldn't hire an eye-surgeon to perform life-altering open-heart surgery surgery on you. So, hire a reputable attorney that specializes in the area that you need them to specialize in.

According to this book, the American Bar Association (ABA) accredits 18 different specialty certification programs. These programs are offered through eight different private organizations that the ABA recognizes as qualified to assess whether attorneys meet the standards for board certification in specialized areas of law.

So, who is David W. Craig to provide this information? Well, Craig isn't just any other lawyer—he has won awards as one of the best attorneys in the State of Iowa. He is recognized as a top-tier personal injury attorney, particularly in cases involving serious truck accidents. With over 35 years of experience, Craig has handled a wide range of complex cases involving semis, commercial vehicles, and catastrophic injuries. He is also the host of the podcast After the Crash, where he educates listeners on the legal system, personal injury law, and how to protect themselves after life-altering accidents. His extensive legal background, courtroom experience, and dedication to consumer education make him a trusted voice in helping people choose the right attorney and avoid costly mistakes.
