Example Cases

Information coming soon.

What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

They must be able to read and understand their medical records to know the whole story.

Are your attorneys willing to review documents prepared by clients?

Yes.

Are your attorneys willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

If we feel that (1.) they don’t need representation, or (2.) that no one will agree to represent them.

Are your attorneys willing to help a client with one discrete part of a case, without taking on the whole case?

Only if there’s no fee involved.

What are your policies about dividing work among the firm's partners, associates, and paralegals to make the process most cost-effective for the client?

Our fee is based on a percentage. It is not unusual for two attorneys to participate in case strategy. This does not cost the client a dime more. We tell clients: “you get two attorneys for the price of one”.

How frequently does your firm use mediation, arbitration, or collaborative law to resolve cases?

We screen our cases for “on-the-record” decision candidates.

Does your firm provide pro bono legal services or otherwise participate in your community?

Yes.

What distinguishes your law firm from others?

We care about people. We strive to “love our neighbor”.

Nolo's Licensing Check

Attorneys have passed a licensing check. Nolo has confirmed that every member attorney has a valid license and is in good standing with the state agency that licenses lawyers upon joining the directory.

Directory lawyers are required to notify Nolo immediately if they become the subject of any disciplinary action by any state licensing agency.
