I<\/span>Consultations & fees<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
\n
Is the first consultation really free?<\/h5>

Yes. Your first consultation is free, confidential and comes with no obligation. You'll speak directly with an attorney who handles cases like yours.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

How does a contingency fee work?<\/h5>

For personal injury and accident cases, we're paid a percentage of what we recover for you, agreed in writing up front. If we don't win, you owe us no attorney's fee.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Do you offer payment plans?<\/h5>

Yes. Criminal defense and family law clients can usually spread flat fees or retainers over several months. We'll discuss options at your consultation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

II<\/span>Working with us<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
\n
Will I actually work with a partner?<\/h5>

Yes. Every case is led by a partner, supported by associates and paralegals. The attorney you meet at your consultation stays on your case.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Is what I tell you confidential?<\/h5>

Yes. What you share while seeking legal advice is kept strictly confidential, even if you decide not to hire us. Please don't send sensitive details through the website form, though; save them for your consultation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Does contacting you make me a client?<\/h5>

No. An attorney-client relationship begins only after we have checked for conflicts and you have signed a written engagement agreement. Until then, please don't assume we represent you or miss any deadline.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

III<\/span>Injury & accident claims<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
\n
How long do I have to file an injury claim?<\/h5>

Every state sets a deadline, called the statute of limitations, which is often two to three years and sometimes much shorter for claims against government entities. Call us promptly so no deadline is missed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?<\/h5>

Report the accident to your own insurer, but avoid giving a recorded statement to the other party's insurer before speaking with a lawyer. Their job is to minimize your claim.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

What is my case worth?<\/h5>

It depends on your medical costs, lost income, long-term effects and the strength of the evidence. We'll give you an honest range once we've reviewed your records, never a number designed to win your business.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

IV<\/span>Arrests & urgent matters<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
\n
Someone I love was just arrested. What do I do?<\/h5>

Call our 24\/7 line at (555) 555-0119. Encourage them to stay calm, stay silent and ask for a lawyer. We can often help with bail and the first court appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Should I answer police questions if I'm innocent?<\/h5>

You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Politely say you want to speak with a lawyer before answering questions. Innocent people are hurt by misunderstood statements every day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

I'm in danger at home. Can you help?<\/h5>

If you are in immediate danger, call 911 first. Then call us. We can seek an emergency protective order, often within a day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
