Hasbrook & Hasbrook accepts personal injury case referrals from Oklahoma attorneys who do not handle these claims themselves. Referring attorneys choose their level of involvement, from staying on as co-counsel with a 50/50 fee split to a hands-off referral at roughly a one-third fee, and the firm typically responds to referral inquiries within one business day.
How Our Personal Injury Lawyer Referral Process Works
Attorneys across Oklahoma use this personal injury referral service for practical reasons: predictable case handling, a clear fee split, and fast answers when a case does not fit their own practice.
- Full case management. Case management software and a dedicated staff track outstanding medical records and insurer settlement patterns, so a referred case does not stall. Resolving a claim through mediation is used with insurers who tend to negotiate that way.
- Prompt filing. With the client’s agreement, a lawsuit is typically filed within 30 days of sending the insurance company a formal demand letter, rather than waiting out delay tactics.
- Covered case costs. Case expenses are carried through the litigation, so referring attorneys and clients are not asked to front costs while the case is pending.
- Ethical fee division. Fee-sharing between lawyers outside the same firm is governed by professional-conduct rules such as the ABA’s fee-division rule, and Oklahoma-specific guidance is available through the Oklahoma Bar Association. Referring attorneys receive a written fee agreement before the case moves forward.
- Ongoing communication. Referring attorneys hear about major developments as they happen, not only at the end of the case.
Attorneys interested in referring a case are welcome to call for a quick consultation, no formal introduction needed.
Common Questions From Referring Attorneys
How much involvement can I have after referring a case?
Involvement is up to the referring attorney. Some stay on as co-counsel, sharing the workload and case costs for a 50/50 fee split. Others hand the case over entirely, which typically comes with a one-third referral fee instead.
How quickly will I hear back about a referral?
Referral inquiries are prioritized, with a response the same day or, at most, within one business day. If it turns out to be a case type the firm does not handle, the referring attorney gets a short list of other attorneys who do.
Will I stay informed about how the case is progressing?
Yes. Referring attorneys are updated on major developments and case milestones as they happen, so they are ready to talk with the client about where things stand at any point.
Attorneys who want to see how referred cases turn out can review case outcomes and past settlement amounts or read feedback from past clients and co-counsel.
