The Role of Trust in the Lawyer-Client Relationship
When you hire a personal injury lawyer, you are placing one of the most important aspects of your life—your recovery—into someone else’s hands. You need to know that your lawyer has the experience to handle your case, the time to give it proper attention, and the integrity to act in your best interest. In other words, you need trust.
At Auger Hollingsworth, we believe that trust is not just a bonus in the lawyer-client relationship—it is essential. Here’s why it matters, and how we work to earn and maintain it from day one.
Trust Builds Confidence in the Process
The personal injury process can be long and sometimes confusing. There may be moments where progress feels slow or when difficult decisions need to be made about offers or treatment. If you don’t trust your lawyer, those moments become even more stressful.
When there is trust, you can feel confident that your legal team is acting with your long-term well-being in mind. You don’t have to second-guess every step, and you can focus on what matters most: healing.
Clear Communication Fosters Trust
A trustworthy injury lawyer does not leave you guessing. They return your calls. They explain things in plain language. They tell you the truth about the strengths and weaknesses of your case—even when it’s not what you want to hear.
At Auger Hollingsworth, we pride ourselves on open, honest communication. We want our clients to feel empowered with information, not overwhelmed by legal jargon. You should never feel like your own case is a mystery.
Consistency and Follow-Through Matter
Many personal injury firms promise the world during the initial consultation, but the level of service drops once the contract is signed. Files are handed off to junior staff, updates become infrequent, and clients are left feeling like just another number.
That’s not how we do things at Auger Hollingsworth. We are committed to following through on what we promise. Our clients know that the team who meets with them early in the process is the same team guiding them through to the end.
Your Lawyer Should Care as Much as You Do
Trust also comes from knowing your lawyer actually cares. You should feel that your case matters—not just the legal claim, but your personal story, your health, and your future.
We treat every client like a person, not a file. We listen. We show up. We fight when it’s time to fight. And we never forget what is at stake for you and your family.
