HOW MUCH IS IT FOR AN INITIAL CONSULTATION?
All consultations are completely free! You've worked hard for your money; we don't want to take your money to tell you that you don't have a case.
HOW MUCH ARE YOUR FEES?
There are two types of fee arrangements: hourly and contingent.
Hourly agreements obligate you to pay each professional's hourly rate multiplied by their respective hours worked on your case. Hourly rates can range from $125 to over $400.
Contingency agreements obligate you to pay a percentage of the recovery obtained to you--usually between 30 and 40%. We don't get paid until you do!
HOW LONG WILL A LAWSUIT TAKE?
Unfortunately, there's not a one-size-fits-all answer. Depending on the complexity of your issues and the response from the opposing side, it could take a few months to a few years to resolve your dispute. However, most lawsuits are designed to be on a nine-month to a twenty-month schedule.
WHAT DO I DO WHEN I'VE BEEN IN A WRECK?
The most important thing is your health. Get to a doctor as soon as you can.
If your health allows, call the police and make a report, take pictures, and get contact information from witnesses. If you can't do that, ask someone to do it for you if possible.
Once you have seen a doctor, consult an attorney to determine the next steps.
HOW MUCH IS MY CASE WORTH?
Each case is different. Unfortunately, there are many factors at play: the type of case, the type of damages available, any statutory damage caps that might apply, and the solvency of the defendant.
Set up an appointment with an experienced attorney for a better estimation of the potential value of your case.
WHAT DO I DO IF I'VE FILED AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND THE INSURER DENIED IT?
Gather all information you have about the claim, including all communication with the insurer or its agents, and consult an attorney.
WHAT DO I DO IF I'M IN A COMMERCIAL DISPUTE?
More than likely, your rights and obligations in a commercial dispute will be spelled out in a contract. If not, your rights and remedies may be determined by state and federal statutes. Set up an appointment with an experienced attorney who can evaluate your options in light of the relevant statutes and paperwork.
DO YOU REPRESENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN SUED?
My passion is to advocate for people who have been wronged and don't know how to navigate the legal minefield and fight for themselves. Ususally that means representing plaintiffs. However, in some instances I will represent defendants.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A LAWSUIT?
It depends on the nature of your case. The default rule is four years from the accrual of your cause of action. However, some statutes, like for personal injury cases, decrease that time period to two years. Sometimes contracts can decrease that time period further. To be sure, consult with an attorney.
