FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  Typically, the personal injury and other civil litigation claims I handle are done on a contingency fee basis meaning that no fees are paid unless a successful monetary recovery is made on my client's behalf. Out of pocket costs/litigation expenses are the responsibility of the client and typically are paid at the conclusion of the case. The contingency rate charged is the customary rate that is commonly charged by other attorneys who practice in this area. Other matters are charged on an hourly fee basis.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  The process begins with an initial interview with the potential client where I gather the important information and the client and I decide if we are a good "fit" for each other. A signed representation agreement is required under the laws of our state if representation is going to be on a contingency fee basis. After representation has commenced, I work to investigate my client's claims and defenses, work with medical professionals to ensure that my client is getting proper care and treatment, and I begin the process of notifying all involved insurance companies of my involvement, including automobile, homeowners, and health insurers. Typically I instruct the involved insurance companies to direct any inquires regarding my clients through me so that my clients do not have to be burdened by the frequent requests for information that typically come their way after it becomes known that an injury/insurance claim is being pursued.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I have been a practicing attorney for over 29 years, have represented several thousand clients, and have extensive civil trial law experience. I have successfully resolved my clients' cases by way of trial, arbitration and settlement.
