Q.
Will I have to go to Court?
A. Possibly - but not necessarily. Nearly
all cases are settled. If you are required to testify, we will be sure to prepare you for your day in court.
Q.
Why do we so frequently win favorable settlements?
A. We're always prepared to go to trial. The
defendant knows about our years of experience and understands how well prepared we
are.
Q.
Can I afford your services?
A. We work on a contingency fee basis.
No attorney fee is due until we collect money for your injuries.
Q.
Suppose I've been referred by another lawyer or law
firm. Does that mean my case is going to cost me more
money?
A. A client never has to pay an additional fee because
they were referred by another attorney to our firm.
Any legal fee to be paid to the referring attorney
will be paid by our firm.
Q.
Will I have to get on the stand? Will the other lawyer
attack me and try to break me down in cross examination?
I'm not sure I could?
A. In the event you must testify, our team will have spent many hours working with you to prepare your testimony and cross examination.
Q.
How long will this process take?
A. There is no certain answer. We'll move as quickly
as possible. A wide range of factors can affect
the resolution of your case. What helps is the fact that our knowledge
and experience often make it possible for us to get
to Court relatively quickly. Once there the opposing lawyers may seek a settlement
early in the proceedings.
Q.
How much is my case worth?
There are many factors which can affect
the value of a case. Your attorney can give you
his opinion of the value of your case based
on prior similar cases he has handled.
Q.
How long do I have to bring a case?
A. You must file your case within the Statute
of Limitations, a fixed period of time dictated by
the law. For an explanation of these time limits,

matters.
Q.
Will you take my case?
A. You will be notified during the office conference or shortly thereafter regarding our decision to take your case.
