Our Process

Six Reasons the case comes to us.

Many attorneys refer to us because the case has grown beyond their preferred scope — not because anything went wrong. Our role is to pick it up and carry it to its highest value.

01 / Jurisdiction

Outside your state or jurisdiction

We are licensed and active in Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and Mississippi — and we regularly handle cross-border cases that raise licensing and choice-of-law issues.

02 / Liability rules

Contributory negligence concerns

Alabama's contributory negligence rule is one of the strictest in the nation. We understand how to strategically build and protect these cases for trial.

03 / Resources

The case has become litigation-heavy

When a matter requires significant funding, expert witnesses, structured strategy, and disciplined preparation, we have the infrastructure to handle it.

04 / Experience

You prefer experienced trial counsel

Many excellent attorneys do not regularly try cases. Referring to dedicated trial lawyers ensures your client has the best possible advocate in the courtroom.

05 / Practice fit

Personal injury is not your primary area

Your client came to you. You want to do right by them. We handle the matter while you maintain the relationship — and you still earn your referral fee.

06 / Relationships

You want to protect the relationship

We never solicit your client for future matters. Your relationship is yours. We are here to serve the case — not to build our own client base from your referrals.

Our Commitment to You

What you can expect from every referral.

We treat the referring attorney as a partner, not a lead source. Professionalism, transparency, and respect — from intake through resolution.

01

We litigate from start to finish

Your client's case receives our full commitment — investigation, expert retention, discovery, and trial preparation handled by our dedicated team.

02

Consistent updates throughout

You are never left wondering about the status of a case you referred. We provide regular communication at every meaningful stage.

03

You remain involved if desired

Want to stay engaged? We welcome co-counsel participation. Prefer a clean handoff? That works too. We adapt to what serves you and your client.

04

We honor your referral fee

Your fee is established upfront and paid promptly upon resolution. No ambiguity, no renegotiation at the end.

05

We never solicit your client

Not during the case. Not after. Your client relationship is protected unconditionally.

I am a licensed attorney in Alabama and when my wife and I were in an auto accident, I hired Randall Caldwell and his firm, Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana, PC to represent us and protect our interests.
