"An attorney referring clients to us for handling a specific matter must have assurance that his client will be well represented in that matter and will remain his client afterwards."
        - Joseph M. Kerrigan, retired, Hamblett & Kerrigan

Mr. Kerrigan's statement embodies how the attorneys and staff at Hamblett & Kerrigan treat referrals from other attorneys. First and foremost, we are dedicated to the goals of the client. We represent referred matters as we represent our own clients. We also respect the fact that referred clients have a history of a positive working relationship with the referring attorney. We honor most existing fee agreements and share fees appropriately. The referred client is always regarded as the client of the referring attorney, and we work with both parties as appropriate. We may take the lead on representing any given matter, team with the referring attorney, or simply act as local counsel. Under any scenario, referring counsel will feel confident that his or her client will be well represented. Finally, we make our best efforts to reciprocate and refer other matters back to counsel who have worked with us in the past.

Our attorneys have a long history of handling referred matters, and are members of local and national legal organizations where referrals are handled to the mutual benefit of all concerned.
