1. Will you take my case?
Sometimes this question can be answered almost immediately. In other instances, we need additional time, effort and investigation to make the decision. If you have been seriously injured, we will use all of our resources to try to help you. If we can’t do so, we will tell you as quickly as possible.

2. Can I afford your services?
Y ou certainly can. We work on a contingency fee basis. What that means, in simple terms, is you pay no legal fees unless you win an award, either through settlement or a trial. We make the full investment of money and time to win justice for you. If we succeed in your behalf, we are paid a percentage of the award, which is discussed and put in writing at the time of our engagement. We are also reimbursed for our expenses. What is most important is this: we have never lost a case for lack of money or for professional time, and we never will.

3. Will I have to go to court?
Possibly you will, but not necessarily. Nearly all cases are settled, sometimes during a trial, often before it begins. Why do we so frequently win favorable settlements? Because we always deal from strength, never from weakness. We are always prepared to go to trial. The defendant’s attorneys knows about our years of experience, and sooner or later, understands how well prepared we are. There is no guarantee, of course, but at the right point, a favorable settlement becomes more likely.

4. How long will this process take?
There is no certain answer. We’ll move as quickly as possible, but a wide range of factors can affect resolution of your case, primarily the backlog in the court. What helps is the fact that our knowledge and experience often makes it possible for us to get to court relatively quickly. Once there, as we said, the opposing lawyers may well seek a settlement early in the proceedings, or even sooner.
