Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a lawyer?

A lawyer not only represents you in court but also manages every stage of your case from gathering evidence and filing paperwork to negotiating settlements and advocating for you before a judge. Their role is to protect your rights, explain your options, and work toward the best possible outcome.

How will I be kept updated on my case?

Clear communication is a priority, so we make sure you are updated regularly as your case progresses. Whether it’s through phone calls, emails, or scheduled meetings, we ensure you always know where things stand and what to expect next.

How long will my case take

Every case is unique, and timelines depend on the complexity of the issues, the court’s schedule, and whether a settlement can be reached. From the beginning, your attorney will give you a realistic idea of what to expect and keep you informed if delays or changes arise.

How much will my case cost?

Legal fees vary depending on the type and complexity of your case. During your consultation, we provide a clear explanation of costs and fee structures so there are no surprises. Our goal is to be transparent and fair while delivering high-quality representation.

What should I bring to my first consultation?

It’s helpful to bring any documents, records, or communications related to your case, along with a list of questions or concerns you may have. The more information you provide, the better prepared your attorney will be to evaluate your situation and develop a strategy.

What is the difference between consultation and representation?

A consultation is your first meeting with a lawyer, where you share details about your situation and receive initial guidance. Ongoing representation means hiring the attorney to actively manage your case, file documents, negotiate, and appear in court on your behalf

Will everything I tell my lawyer remain confidential?

Yes. Attorney-client privilege means that anything you share with your lawyer is confidential. This protection allows you to be open and honest so your attorney can represent you effectively.

What’s the difference between mediation and going to court?

Mediation is a process where a neutral third party helps both sides work toward an agreement without going to trial. It’s often faster, less stressful, and more cost-effective, but if it fails, court may still be necessary.

Will my lawyer make all the decisions for me?

Your lawyer will guide you, explain your options, and recommend a strategy, but major decisions—such as accepting a settlement or going to trial—are always yours to make.

How do I talk with my lawyer during?

Your lawyer will explain the best way to reach them, whether through phone calls, emails, or scheduled meetings. Clear, respectful, and timely communication ensures your case moves smoothly.
