Do I have to pay any out-of-pocket fees?

It depends on the type of payment arrangement you choose. For a contingency based agreement, you do not pay any out-of-pocket costs until you receive a settlement/recovery. In that case, the costs and fees will be deducted from your settlement/recovery. If you choose the fixed fee or hourly method of payment, you will receive a monthly bill for these charges. Examples of these costs and fees are photocopies, court fees, postage fees, overnight delivery fees, etc.

  • How long does it take for a case to be resolved?

If that does not occur and the matter goes to court, resolution can take much longer. However, most cases end up settling which is why it is important for you to hire an experienced and trusted attorney who knows the law and how to achieve fair results. 

  • How do I find the best attorney to represent me?

    Do your research. Your attorney should be in good standing with the bar of your state and has not been disciplined or suspended from practicing law. Check with your state’s disciplinary review board to determine if he or she was the subject of public discipline or reinstatement proceedings. You can find this information with either the local state or county bar association or the state supreme court disciplinary review board. You should also vet your attorney by checking websites, social media, etc. Finally, ask friends and family for recommendations. If they cannot recommend someone to you, then ask the attorney for referrals.

  • Do I have to pay the firm anything at the beginning of the matter, like a retainer?

    It depends on the type of payment option you choose. If you decide to pay the firm hourly or a fixed fee, you will pay a retainer prior to the commencement of services. A retainer is like a security deposit for a rental property. The retainer is deposited in the attorney’s trust account and held as financial security. At the completion of your matter, any unused retainer will be returned to you. If you choose to hire us on contingency, you do not pay a retainer.

  • How do I prepare for a consultatation?

This will refresh your memory and will help us better understand your situation and why you are looking for legal representation. It is important not to disclose to anyone the details of our consultation because sharing this information to others waives the attorney-client privilege and threatens disclosure to the opposing side.
