What Happens During a Free Injury Consultation?
You do not need a perfect file to make the first call. A brief account of the incident, a way to reach you, and your main questions are a useful start.
1. Share the basics
Tell us when and where the incident happened, what type of matter you are asking about, whether another attorney is involved, and whether you know of an approaching deadline. Keep the website form brief; do not attach medical records or confidential documents.
2. Discuss whether the firm can help
The initial consultation is free. Brian Masjedian handles the firm's personal injury work directly. The conversation is an opportunity to ask about the evidence, potential next steps, communication, and whether the matter fits the practice. An inquiry is not an acceptance of your case.
3. Understand the agreement
If representation is offered, review its scope and written fee terms before deciding. The firm's personal injury attorney fee is 32% of gross recovery before case costs. With no recovery, no attorney fee or case costs are owed to the firm. The agreement explains expenses and deductions when a recovery is obtained.
Questions worth asking
- Who will handle my case and communicate with me?
- What records should I gather next?
- What dates need immediate attention?
- How are attorney fees, expenses, and medical obligations treated separately?
- What happens if the firm cannot accept my matter?
