How a case review works
Every step between your request and the conversation with our legal team, in plain words.
What happens after I request a case review?
Minute 0
You tell us what happened
Name, contact details, ZIP code, the closest practice area and (optionally) a few sentences about what happened. “Other / Not sure” is a valid answer. One required box: your consent to be contacted about your request. You can also start by phone.
Right after you send it
You see a confirmation
On screen, with what happens next, so you know your request is in and what to expect.
Next
An attorney reviews your request
An attorney who handles that type of matter reads what you sent: what happened, when and where, and what you hope to achieve. Your request is not auctioned, added to a general marketing list or resold.
Promptly after the review
Our legal team contacts you
By the method you chose, phone or email. We talk through your options, the deadlines that may apply and the next steps, and we explain how fees would work before you agree to anything.
Whenever you’re ready
You decide what happens next
Go ahead, take time to think, or stop. A case review never obligates you. If your matter turns out to be one we can’t help with, we’ll say so plainly and point you to your state bar association’s lawyer referral service.
Fees and your first conversation
- The review
- Requesting a case review costs nothing, and there is no obligation to go further. If you’d like to talk about working together, ask anything you want to know about cost; you’ll get a plain answer.
- Fees
- How fees and costs would work is explained before you agree to anything. Injury and some disability matters are often handled on contingency; many other matters are hourly or flat-fee. Always get the fee arrangement in writing.
- Your information
- We use it to review your request and to contact you about it. Details in our Privacy Policy.
Who you’ll talk to
Your request is read by an attorney who handles that type of matter. The follow-up comes from our legal team, by phone or email, whichever you chose, and the conversation is about your situation: what happened, what your options are and what would come next.
Asking questions is part of the process. Before you hire any lawyer, it’s reasonable to check their license with your state bar, here’s how, in five minutes.
