My Promise To You In Every Case
1. I will return your calls if at all possible, by the end of each business day and never more than 24 hours after your call.

3. You will not be pressured into a settlement you do not want. I will fully advise you of all consequences of an offer of settlement, but you decide if we go to trial.
Seven Costly Mistakes You Can Make When Hiring a Trial Lawyer.
1. Do you really need to file a lawsuit?
As odd as that sounds, it should always be your first consideration. Many people are quick to file a lawsuit when there are many other ways to settle disputes. Everyone knows that lawsuits take lots of time and money. You often end up settling the case for what it could have been settled for at the very beginning. Here are some things to think
about before you file a lawsuit or even look for an attorney:
-
Look into a variety of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) options. These include mediation, arbitration or even face to face discussion with your opponent. I have often seen people who have been in court for months or even years, sit down and talk, without lawyers, and find a way to settle their differences. Try writing a letter, making a phone call, meeting over a cup of coffee. You might be surprised with the result.
-
There are several situations where you most always need a lawyer, these include:
- Going up against any trained professional, such as insurance adjuster.
- When the other side has “lawyered up”. Litigation is complex and rule intensive. . You don't get any breaks from the other side or a judge no matter how many times you say "...but I am not a lawyer". Regardless, you are held to the same standards and knowledge as any lawyer.
