Making a legal decision about personal injury, family matters or a traffic violation can be difficult. To be comfortable with your options, you need answers. These FAQs are meant to provide basic information. They should never be substituted for legal counsel.

How do I know if I have a claim? 

There are many factors that we consider in determining your legal rights. If you lost a significant amount of money in any kind of investment, there’s no risk in asking us to evaluate your case. We’ll help you determine if you have a claim, and what actions are best to take.

Do you charge anything for a consultation? 

No, we never charge for an initial consultation. That’s what we’re here for, to help our clients evaluate or commence their cases.

What do I need to bring to the consultation?

Depending on your specific case, we will suggest the items you should bring with you once you’ve schedule a consultation. The necessary information you’ll need varies depending on the type of case and the issues involved.

I was involved in a car/truck accident.  What should I do first?

Well, the first concern is for the medical safety of those involved.  Make sure that you received medical care directly from the accident scene.  Also be sure to get a copy of the police report case number and contact information from the officer on scene.  Please bring all of this with you to our first appointment.

Should I take photos of the accident with my cell phone?

If you are not injured and are safely out of the way of the accident scene, taking photos of the accident could help you with your claims.  Always be sure that you are not injured and are completely safe at the accident scene before you attempt to take any photos.

I was injured on the job due. Am I limited only to what I can get under workers compensation law?

No. You may also pursue a “third-party claim” against the employee and his employer to obtain what worker’s compensation will not provide.

Some or all of my medical bills are unpaid. How can I stop the annoying creditors while my case is pending?

Oftentimes the healthcare providers will accept a letter of protection from us. This agreement basically states that we will pay them when your case is settled or tried to a jury.
