Frequently Asked Questions

Seek medical attention first, even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene with photos, exchange information with other parties, and file a police report. Do not admit fault or sign anything from an insurance company. Contact an attorney before giving a recorded statement.
Your initial consultation is completely free with no obligation. We'll review your case, explain your options, and give you an honest assessment. For personal injury cases, we work on a contingency fee basis -- you don't pay unless we win.
You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Do not speak to law enforcement without legal counsel present. Contact us immediately -- the earlier we're involved, the stronger your defense will be. We handle everything from misdemeanors to serious felonies.
Every case is different. Some personal injury claims settle in a few months, while others may take a year or more if litigation is required. Criminal cases vary depending on the charges and complexity. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.
