Firm Overview

A few really important things make us different from other lawyers you could hire.

We provide more for free than the typical free initial consultation.

Almost every law firm will tell you it provides free initial consultations. This usually means they will listen to your story, tell you how much they charge, and maybe offer to handle your case. That is not the kind of consultation you want or need, and it is not the kind you will get from us. The free services we provide before you hire us go well beyond an initial consultation. We do an entire preliminary work up of your case. That is the only way you and we can know whether you have valid claims

What distinguishes your law firm from others?

Most law firms who do this kind of work, or claim to, will hand your file off to one of their attorneys.When you hire us, you get the whole Stockmarketloss team three senior lawyers (all long time partners of HC&S) and our amazing support staff. We all work on every case, each of us taking charge of what he or she does best. This team approach ensures that each of us is invested in your case, constantly sharing ideas and information and minimizing the chance that something important could slip by. In other words, we do not just give you our all. We give you all of us, and we do it at no extra cost to you.
