How does it work?

1

Make The call

Every case begins with a story and we want to hear your’s. Call and you will reach a partner of the firm, probably the one who will handle your matter. We will answer your questions, explain the legal basis for a possible claim and how we can help.

2

Investigation

Every successful case is won on strong evidence, and we understand the need to act quickly and efficiently to preserve physical evidence. Most jurisdictions have specific protocols with which we are familiar. We also effectively interview potential witnesses, including law enforcement, and visit the accident scene to best understand the physical setting. Background research on the responsible party is usually conducted at this point.
