It is very important that you read these various questions carefully and answer them clearly, completely and specifically. We need your help in order to get a full and thorough review of your prospective case.
Please keep in mind that we have not yet agreed to undertake representation; we are simply going to undertake an initial, investigative overview of the situation you have.
These are difficult cases, routinely hard fought, lengthy, expensive, time-consuming and quite distracting. Many factors must be considered including: 1) liability (who, if anyone, did something wrong); 2) damages (bills, permanent injuries, disruption of life or lives, etc); 3) time limitations as applied by law and many other factors.
We, upon receipt and review of this requested information, will be in touch with you. Please make sure we have an address and telephone number in order that we may make contact with you.
