It depends. For injury cases, attorney fees are based on a percentage of the amount awarded in the case. So, the attorney recovers a fee if you receive compensation at the conclusion of your claim. However, you may still be responsible for certain expenses regardless of the resolution.
For non-injury cases, our firm charges a service-based fee depending on the type of case. The fee is determined by the work and activities that the typical case of a particular type will generally require. We will discuss the fees in detail with you so that you have a clear understanding of what our representation involves and what fees are charged. We offer payments plans.

You can take the necessary steps to control your legal expenses prior to retaining your attorney. With the 'B' attitudes:
Be concise in every communications with your attorney. Unnecessary discussions will likely result in delays in resolving your case.
Be prepared to provide all necessary information, documents and answers to your attorney. This will prevent needless investigations and fact-finding missions.
Be detailed when sharing any facts with your attorney. Full disclosure will allow your attorney to create offensive strategies rather than defensive ones.
Be available to your attorney when needed so that proper preparations can be made for your case.

A criminal case arises when the government seeks to punish an individual for an act that has been classified as a crime by our government. A civil case, on the other hand, deals with disputes over the rights and duties that individuals and organizations legally owe to each other.

When you speak to one of our experienced attorneys, we will ask you to detail your injury. This will help to determine whether you have a claim. In most cases, our attorneys will have to prove three things in order to recover compensation for you: that you suffered damages, that the defendant was negligent, and that the defendant's negligence caused your damages. Insurance coverage, defendants' assets, whether there are additional liable parties and other factors will also be investigated by our law firm.

Maybe. A false arrest consists of unlawful restraint of a person's liberty without proper legal authority. A common example of a false arrest situation is where an officer arrests a person of color suspected of shoplifting, without real suspicion that the person did anything wrong, and made the arrest simply because the person was the only person of color in the store. We will carefully investigate your claim to determine an officer's wrongdoing.

Yes. If you have been a dual citizen from birth or childhood, or you became a citizen of another country after already having US citizenship, you may qualify for duel citizenship. As long as the other country in question does not have any laws or regulations requiring you to formally renounce your US citizenship before US consular officials, then current US law unambiguously assures your right to keep both citizenships for life.
