HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED A LAWYER?
You may need a lawyer if you have been seriously injured or wronged in some way by a product, toxic substance, medical provider, business, insurance company or individual. You need a lawyer if you are being investigated or have been charged by a law enforcement agency.
HOW SHOULD I CHOOSE A LAWYER?
Three important considerations are comfort, experience and resources. You need to be comfortable with the person you choose and feel confident that he or she will do everything possible on your behalf. Your lawyer should have experience specific to your case, and the firm must have the resources necessary to fight against a well-financed opponent.
WHAT WILL IT COST ME?
In most personal injury cases, fees are paid on a contingency arrangement. That means you pay a fee only if we win for you, whether it is by getting a favorable verdict in court, or by settling the case. Every lawyer in Washington State must tell you that you are ultimately responsible for costs, but costs are usually paid from settlement or jury awards. We have the resources to advance the costs necessary to prepare the case.
In criminal cases, fees are paid on an hourly basis. No lawyer in this state can take a criminal case on any kind of contingency basis. Employment cases are charged on either a contingency or hourly basis. We discuss all of our fees and costs up front with our clients.
WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF WINNING?
Every case is different. The only way to determine the possibility of winning is athorough evaluation of your case. Once we have a clear understanding of the facts we can advise you on the feasibility of recovering damages in your case.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
We can estimate the time required after learning more about your case. Often the justice system is slow because parties legally have 30 or 60 days to respond to questions raised by the other side. Sometimes, corporate defendants will try to drag out the process to gain an advantage. Our many years of experience and ample support staff enable us to limit delay and pursue every avenue to complete your case as quickly as possible.
DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE IN CASES LIKE MINE?
All of our attorneys have years of experience in personal injury, employment law, or criminal defense cases. In some instances we are the only northwest firm with experience in certain types of personal injury, product liability, and medical malpractice cases. If we feel that we are not qualified to take your case, we will help you find someone who is.
HOW WOULD YOU APPROACH MY CASE?
We treat our clients as we would want to be treated. We listen to you and your concerns. We learn everything about your case. We plan our legal strategy by putting ourselves in your shoes. We use our considerable resources and legal and trial experience to prepare fully to obtain the fairest settlement or jury award possible.
