What should I expect in my lawsuit?
When you start a lawsuit, the process usually begins with a conversation about your situation to see if you have a case. If you move forward, your attorney will gather information, handle paperwork, and guide you through each step. Most lawsuits involve some back-and-forth between both sides, including sharing evidence and trying to reach a settlement. If that doesn’t happen, the case may go to trial. Throughout the process, your attorney will keep you informed and explain what’s happening so you know what to expect.
How does contingency-based pricing work?
Contingency-based pricing means you don’t have to pay any legal fees up front. Instead, your lawyer only gets paid if they win money for you. Their payment comes as a percentage of the amount you receive from a settlement or court award. If you don’t win your case, you don’t owe anything for legal fees. This helps make legal services available without needing to worry about the cost right away.
How do I start a case with your firm?
To start a case, all you need to do is reach out and set up a consultation. During that conversation, a lawyer will listen to your situation, ask a few questions, and let you know if it’s something they can help with. If you decide to move forward together, you’ll sign an agreement, and they’ll begin working on your case. It’s a straightforward process, and the firm will walk you through every step.
