Frequently Asked Questions
These FAQs are provided for general informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. For advice about your specific situation, please contact our office directly.
Schedule Your Free Consultation Does contacting your office mean I have hired you as my lawyer?
No. Reaching out to us by phone, email, or through our website does not create an attorney-client relationship. We only become your attorneys once we have a signed agreement in place.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
The cost depends on the type of case. For many personal injury cases, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay unless we recover money for you. Other matters may involve flat fees or hourly rates, which we explain up front.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. We offer free initial consultations in most personal injury and civil matters so we can learn about your case and explain your options.
What should I bring to my first meeting?
Bring any documents related to your case, such as accident reports, medical records, contracts, court papers, or correspondence from insurance companies. The more information you can provide, the better we can evaluate your situation.
How long will my case take?
Every case is different. Some can be resolved in weeks or months through negotiation or settlement, while others may take a year or more if a trial is necessary. We will keep you informed at every stage.
Will I have to go to court?
Not always. Many cases are resolved through settlement or mediation. However, if going to court is the best way to protect your rights, we will be fully prepared to represent you.
How will I know what’s happening in my case?
Communication is a priority for us. We make sure our clients are updated regularly and can always reach us with questions or concerns.
What areas of law do you handle?
Our firm handles a variety of legal matters, including personal injury, abuse and neglect, criminal defense, insurance disputes, and civil litigation. If you’re not sure whether we can help, contact us — and if it’s not in our practice, we’ll try to point you in the right direction.
What should I do if I’ve been contacted by the police, insurance company, or another attorney?
Do not give statements or sign anything before speaking to a lawyer. Contact our office immediately so we can advise you on the next steps.
Why should I hire a lawyer instead of handling this on my own?
The law is complex, and insurance companies and opposing parties often have experienced lawyers on their side. Having skilled legal counsel levels the playing field and ensures your rights are fully protected.
