FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Essentially all personal injury attorneys are paid on a contingent basis; meaning, if there is no recovery, there is no fee. The industry standard is 1/3 (or 33.33%) of the gross recovery if the case is settled prior to litigation, and 40% of the recovery if the case is litigated. I reduce my fee by 20% for clients who come to by way of Thumbtack, for any case that I settle without the need to litigate the case.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Although I prefer to meet with my new clients in person, I am aware that people are busy and that meeting in person is not always convenient. With that in mind, I am happy to, at least initially, set up everything over the phone and via email. If a client is unable to travel, I may be able to visit the client in person.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Of course, I have a law degree, plus over 27 years of experience handling personal injury cases.
