We have the answers
Frequently asked questions
Many of our first-time clients have plenty of questions about working with a lawyer. We can answer those and more.
How much will it cost?
Nothing unless and until we get you money—so getting you as much as possible, as early as possible is in everyone’s interest. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means our fee is always a percentage of your settlement or verdict, and our fees have not changed in 30 years. While time is important, we will never settle your case prematurely or without your permission. We always put your interests ahead of our fee.
How long will it take?
Typically, 6–18 months, depending on the nature and extent of your injuries or damages. While you receive medical treatment—and we can help with this too—we get to work establishing liability and collectibility. We only make a demand and negotiate with the responsible insurance company once we both understand your injuries or damages and your personal road to recovery. Unfair settlement offers are never tolerated and lawsuits are quickly filed.
How much will I get?
The short answer: it depends (on liability, damages, and collectibility). Ultimately, however, your case is worth as much as we can persuade the defense to pay or a jury to award. Those are the options. And our track record for doing both is impressive. Our smaller cases typically settle for tens of thousands of dollars and our larger cases typically settle for hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.* Our only promise is to outwork everyone.
