Questions we get asked
What does a consultation cost?
Nothing, and it is confidential whether or not you retain the firm. You will get a straight answer about whether the claim is worth pursuing.
How does the fee work?
Injury and employment matters are contingency — no fee unless there is a recovery. Business matters are hourly or flat fee, agreed in writing first.
How long will my case take?
It depends on whether it settles or tries. You will get a realistic range at the consultation, not an optimistic one.
Confidential consultation
Short on purpose. Tell us what happened and someone will call you back today.
