We Treat All Referral Lawyers With The Utmost Respect

Baradat & Paboojian receives case referrals from all types of lawyers and law firms. We take pride in our referral relationships and our ability to offer a percentage of our attorney's fees to those referring lawyers.

Baradat & Paboojian has paid over $10 million in referral fees.

Baradat & Paboojian recognizes the importance of referral lawyers to our firm, and we believe that referring attorneys are doing a great service to their clients by involving us in the representation. Accordingly, we treat all referral lawyers with the utmost respect and promptly pay referral fees upon the resolution of a case.

Baradat & Paboojian complies with all State Bar rules when entering into fee-sharing agreements with other lawyers. The State Bar of California authorizes lawyers to share fees on a case as long as the client agrees to the arrangement in writing. To that end, our goal is to have all referral agreements authorized in writing by the client in advance of a case's resolution so there is never a misunderstanding about the sharing of fees at the end of the case.

The amount of the referral fee percentage agreed to depends on the individual circumstances of each case and is determined on a case-by-case basis. Some of the factors evaluated in determining an appropriate fee-sharing percentage are: the type of case, the risk level, the anticipated costs, the desired level of involvement of the referring attorney, and the stage of the litigation. Baradat & Paboojian has always been able to reach an equitable fee-sharing arrangement with a referring attorney.

Learn More About Products Liability

Consumers should be able to trust that the products they purchase are safe when used as designed. Unfortunately, consumers are often injured by common products and devices they use every day. Sometimes the failure of these products causes significant injuries or death. Three types of product defects incur liability in manufactures and supplies, including design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects.

Design defects: This is the case where a product imperfection occurs when the seller or distributor could have reduced or avoided a foreseeable risk of harm by adopting a reasonable alternative design, and when, as a result of not using the alternative, the product is not reasonably safe.

Manufacturing defects: Is an imperfection in a product that departs from its intended design even though all possible care was exercised in its assembly and marketing.

Marketing defects: Is a failure to adequately warn of a potential risk of harm that is known or should have been known about a product or its foreseeable use.

Product liability is the legal responsibility of any party along the chain or manufacture of a product for damages caused by that product. Liable parties include a product's manufacturers, as well as its suppliers. Products with defects that cause harm to a consumer of a product, or someone to whom the product was loaned or given, are the subjects of products liability suits.

Defective product cases can be very complex so it is important to seek the help of an experienced attorney. If you or someone close to you has been injured by a defective product and would like the attorneys at Baradat & Paboojian to review your case, please proceed to the Case Submission section of the site.
