Questions, answered
Don’t see yours? Ask the assistant. It replies instantly, any time of day.
Nothing on this site or in the chat is legal advice. Only an attorney can evaluate your situation.
01Is the case evaluation really free?
Yes. The first evaluation is free and without obligation.
02Does chatting with the assistant make you my lawyer?
No. An attorney-client relationship is only formed through a signed engagement with the firm.
03Can the assistant tell me if I have a case?
No. Only an attorney can evaluate your situation.
04How much do you charge?
It depends on the matter; many injury cases are handled on contingency. The attorney will explain fees at the evaluation.
05What should I bring?
Any documents you have (letters, police reports, court papers). Don’t send them by chat.
06How fast can I talk to someone?
Our assistant will call you within minutes during calling hours to schedule.
07Is what I share in the chat confidential?
Please keep details for the attorney. The chat only collects your name, number, and the type of matter so we can call you.
08Can I reschedule my evaluation?
Yes. Reply to your text confirmation, or call or text us and the team will find a new time.
