Rocky and his team are amazing! I had hired two attorneys prior to be referred to Rocky. Neither of my previous attorney were able to get anything done. It was almost as if I was the attorney and the paralegal and I was just paying them to file. Neither of my previous attorneys wanted to fight for me. This all changed when I hired Rocky. He was able to get what I needed in months versus what my previous attorneys were not able to do in years. Not only is he good at what he does but he listens and is always there when I have a question. He has gone above and beyond! If you need an attorney that will listen and get you result then Rocky is your man.

I am delighted to share my utmost appreciation for the exceptional legal services provided by Rocky Johnson during my divorce case. Rocky's unwavering dedication, expertise, and compassionate approach made an indelible impact on the entire process.
From the moment I engaged Rocky Johnson's services, I knew I was in capable hands. His professionalism, extensive knowledge of family law, and genuine care for his clients shone through every interaction. Rocky's ability to explain complex legal matters in a clear and understandable manner helped me navigate the intricacies of my case with confidence.
While Rocky's legal expertise is undeniable, I believe there is room for improvement in terms of communication. While he promptly addressed my concerns and provided updates when requested, I believe that more proactive and consistent communication would have further enhanced my experience. Clear and regular communication would have helped alleviate any uncertainties and provided additional reassurance during the process.
Nevertheless, I am immensely grateful for Rocky Johnson's dedication and the positive outcome he achieved for me. His compassionate approach and genuine care for my well-being were apparent throughout the process, providing much-needed support during a challenging time.
I highly recommend Johnson & Shinton for anyone seeking exceptional legal representation for divorce cases or family law matters. Their legal expertise, unwavering dedication, and genuine compassion make him an invaluable advocate. With some improvements in communication, they have the potential to deliver an even more exceptional client experience.

I cannot recommend more about this team of brilliant attorneys Kelly and Mikayla who shepherded my sexual abuse case against a major academic institution for years and won a settlement that I did not expect. They are supportive, meticulous and sensitive and I could not have expected a better result and handling on my case. Thank you!

I am SO GRATEFUL to the team of professionals of this law firm, who possess a rare blend of expertise, empathy, and resilience. I had the privilege to meet a majority of people in the office and felt their care and wonderful human qualities. Kathy is an amazing administrator!
Paul Jonna and Robert Weisenburger handled my case from the beginning to the end with exceptional professionalism and unwavering integrity. They are skilled negotiators and effectively vindicated my cause against an international corporation that discriminated against me. Grounded in traditional values, they project honesty, trustworthiness, and reliability, putting a client at ease in stressful situations. They were very patient with my strong accent and limited English, explaining complex legal concepts in simple terms. Their humble attitude helped me to relate to them and establish a strong working relationship.
Paul’s leadership skills, a fierce commitment to justice and stellar responsiveness provided a steady ground for Robert and I to work on multiple details of my case.
Robert has amazing analytical skills, a sharp eye for important nuances in multiple pages of paperwork and counseling skills. He is kind, supportive and patient. It was a blessing for me to work with him even on tedious stages of paperwork preparation, a stressful 9-hours Deposition and a scrupulous Mediation process. He exercised his personal faith to support me during this long legal process.
My words are not enough to express my very positive experience in my legal battle.

I've been an attorney in Ohio for 37 years. I've referred two high profile cases to Robert Weisenburger as California counsel. The opposing counsels in each case were large, international law firms with offices in LA. Robert provided exceptional legal services in a prompt and ethical manner. His analytical skills and strategic thinking allow him to handle complex matters, while at the same time explaining concepts in understandable terms for the client. I give him the highest possible recommendation.

I was recommended to reach out to the Jurewitz Law Group following an accident, in which I was struck by a vehicle while crossing a pedestrian sidewalk. From the beginning, I was confident I selected the right team, as they were more interested in addressing my health and well-being, and less so about the financial aspect. Shoutout to Madelyn, Hope, Adrianna , Blake, and any of the team members that assisted in my case receiving a desirable outcome. You all are truly professionals and I’m grateful you all decided to take on my case and dispute on my behalf. Definitely do reach out to them if you’re in need of legal assistance, and they will take extremely good care of you and deliver favorable results!

Jordon and Taylor were incredible to work with. They were very communicative throughout the entire process and always made sure I was on board with what was going on with the situation. I couldn't have worked with a better team at all. They were also always very quick to respond to any questions I had. They were consistent and professional while also being very understanding and patient. They helped in so many different ways and I appreciate their help greatly. Would highly recommend these two!

Jordan was and is one of the worst lawyers I ever had to deal with in my life.
I contacted him because he was a referral from a friend seeking help for being wrongfully terminated from a job.
At first he seemed very caring and understanding and on my side and then as the days went by it was like I was an annoyance to him.
Anytime I would ask a question through text about something he was doing he would talk down to me like I was a child.
He has a huge ego and on a high horse.
At one point my family advised me to ask a question about something he was doing and oh my god did I get a wrath from him, even Jordan saying "is your mother a lawyer? I am a lawyer, do not question my actions"
I just couldn't even believe it, it went from telling me that I was going to get a huge settlement to making me feel worthless and the enemy in the case. After a few months of Jordan going ghost he had his office message me that they were not going to continue with the case and gave me a referral.
It was more then 6 months waste of time and I couldn't even do anything after that it was too late to even have a case after that long of waiting
The owner of the place I was wrongfully terminated even offered a settlement and Jordan refused it saying he could get more money.
So in the end I got absolutely nothing because he didn't want to take the case anymore. Highly do not recommend this guy. Some lawyers especially this one are way to high on a horse to be brought down to reality.

Harlan Law was a great professional firm to work with. Jordon and Taylor were always responsive and made sure to communicate every single detail of my case with me. They really went above and beyond to put my best interest first and still kept in touch even after my case was finalized. I would definitely recommend Harlan Law to anyone looking for an employment law attorney.

I called Briana Kim in a time of need and at a very difficult time in my life and I’m so glad that I did. She was available to me every time I needed her and she got me the best possible outcome on my case. I had the pleasure of also working with Florence and Raleigh from her office and they were all so great. If I am ever in need of assistance for an employment issue again, Briana will be my first and only call. She is the best.

Theresa is without a doubt one of the best lawyers there is when it comes to dog bite cases in Contra Costa County!

When searching for a lawyer for my accident in Concord, one name rose above all others: Theresa! It wasn't just her incredible reputation that drew me towards selecting her services but also her commitment to getting justice for victims like myself who have been wrongfully injured by someone else's negligence. From our initial meeting she made sure all my questions were answered while keeping up with progress updates throughout the entire process. With her help I got an amazing settlement.

My car accident case was complicated and I wasn't sure I'd be able to find an attorney who could help me. But then I found Theresa. She was compassionate, hardworking, professional, quick to respond and reliable. She really took the time to understand my case and explained how we could move forward together. She provided detailed information about California's car accident laws and worked with me every step of the way until I received a great settlement that was more than fair. I highly recommend her services!

Candace Brooks worked with me on my bankruptcy for the better part of 2023. I cannot speak of her and her work highly enough!
She was kind when I shared my big feelings about filing for bankruptcy for the first time in my life. Flexibility is her superpower as I delayed the process several months to handle other priorities. When I returned ready to continue, Candace was patient as I caught up on my part of the process. She was a consummate professional while being personable along the way. She and her team made this as painless as possible while offering solid legal advice. I strongly and enthusiastically encourage Brooks & Carpenter as you consider legal representation.

Omar is not only compassionate, but intellectually astute and knowledgeable about many facets of the law, but especially helpful for us in solving our issues. When we were most in despair, there was Omar finding yet another solution. He is kind, patient and above all smart in what he does. I highly recommend him.
Sometimes lawyers are too busy, irritable, impatient and not problem solvers, Omar is the opposite of all of those traits. He is a rare find in this world, do use his services you will be so pleased you did.

I was hit by a drunk driver at a standstill at 30 mph and suffered neck injuries as well as aggravation to a pre-existing vertigo condition. I was nervous that with a potential pre-existing condition no one would take my case, but I retained Habbas & Associates and have been very satisfied with their work on my case. I am an attorney myself so can recognize when someone is only putting in partial effort, but here they never make me feel like just another client, even given that my case is no 7 figure case. My questions are always answered and my phone calls are always promptly returned. I would recommend this firm to anyone who fell under similar misfortune and needs a personal injury attorney.

I had seen billboards advertising Mr Habbas' services and never thought too much about it. One day, an illegal alien who was unlicensed, ran a red light and T-boned my car. Fortunately, the car itself was insured (albeit low cost insurance). Habeas immediately made sure that my injuries were addressed with MRI and X-Rays. In addition, they scheduled me at physical therapy to get me back to normal as quickly as possible. After all was said and done, I recovered fully and the medical bills as well as the car repairs were completely taken care of by his office, working with the other guys. The best part was I did not expect to receive any additional monies since the insurance was a minimal coverage policy. But I did receive a small check, which I was happy to receive. I've heard horror stories of other accident attorneys not returning calls and being difficult to get in contact with. Never with Habbas. Whether it was an e-mail, or phone call, they responded usually within 1-2 days with clear, answers to my questions. Thank you Omar for the great work.

I know Mr. Bernard is working hard on my case-as I was amazingly impressed by his hands on approach, rite when I asked for his representation. When I asked if he would be interested in handling my case, he was already deeply involved in the particulars upon this case, which is based upon my rite to privacy, in that it being grossly in violation to be filming me without my knowleedge-then actually putting me on a cable television show, again, without my knowledge! (Nor, a waiver to be filmed, or any pay whatsoever!) Incredible as it may sound, Kirk Bernard saw rite away the way to restore my dignity, and my basic American rites as a human being. I've yet to hear what this person filming me has to say, and what his accountant has to say to Kirk and I about this overlooked "detail" of this flagrant violation of my rites, actually televised on syndicated cable television!

Let me preface this by saying that this is the first time that I had ever needed an attorney so I have nothing to compare it to so therefore the 4 star rating. This should in no means reflect Mr. Hughes's knowledge, skills, or talents in any way.
My dealings with Mr. Hughes went very well.
He was very understanding of my situation and helped me through a very difficult time in my life after the fall out from my car accident.
Would I hire Mr. Hughes again? In a heartbeat.
The only suggestion I would offer to anyone who is getting ready to litigate is to keep accurate documents and files. Because I did this this, we both received a better outcome.

After being involved in a minor motor vehicle accident (I was rear ended on the highway), a friend referred me to Mr. Hughes. At the time, I wasn't interested in contacting an attorney as I didn't feel my injuries were significant. However, after a few days, it became evident that my injuries were more serious than I had originally thought. I was diagnosed with whiplash and my doctor referred me for physical therapy. On top of an already hectic lifestyle and now physical therapy appointments twice weekly, I had little time and emotional energy to deal with the insurance company myself. I reluctantly contacted Mr. Hughes just to see if there was something he could do to help me.
Not being a litigious person, I was apprehensive. I was pleasantly surprised with Mr. Hughes' knowledge, professionalism and considerate nature. He explained the process to me, along with the expected outcome. At no time did I feel like he was taking advantage of my situation or trying to gouge the other party involved, like I had once expected from a personal injury attorney. He and his office staff handled all the details of the case so I could focus on my health. His initial demand was fair and completely agreeable to me, as was the final settlement.
I couldn't be more satisfied with the way Mr. Hughes and his staff handled my case and took care of me personally. I will definitely be referring my friends and family to Mr. Hughes in the future, should there ever be a need.

He listens and clearly is a pro at what he does, and made me feel empowered about my case. I didn't feel rush or pressured to immediately make a decision like I did with other offices I consulted, and he actually gave me a lot of advice and took the time to explain to me my options. Very grateful to have found him, and would highly recommend.

I highly recommend Brinton McCusker and BMB Law for your legal needs. Brinton and staff (Angie) were very professional, respectful, polite, responsive, and easy to work with. They kept me informed and up-to-date on all developments throughout the process. The defendant denied liability and damages and fought the claim throughout the litigation phase. I was pleased that the defense folded before trial, and the claim resulted in a substantial settlement.

I got a DUI and was referred to David Chesley by a colleague who also had a previous case. I must say I am satisfied by the results and it was cheaper than other law offices. Communication was key and I felt like I wasn’t alone in this case. When I got the DUI, I thought my consequences would have been the worst. My lawyer informed me that she will do her best and not to worry. In the end, she delivered and I highly recommend Law Offices of David Chesley.

David Chesley outlined his plan for me, which included what he felt would be realistic steps for us to take and how much time each step might require. He gave an honest promise that if everything else fails we could always go back to this point as it has worked out well so far! After we won in Court there are no more negative feelings blocking my way forward anymore... I can't say enough about how great Mr. Chesley's professionalism showed through during all those times where things got tough.

I had a really solid experience with Givelle. While she did not provide legal assistance to me, (I was seeking to file suit and she’s a defense attorney), she heard me out and graciously shared what she knows to be next-steps in these types of matters. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking a defense attorney because she exudes confidence and speaks with clarity and purpose.

Divorce is anything but a walk in the park, but through the distress, anxiety, and uncertainty around the process, Katie Fox, and her team at Fox & Bank, have done a phenomenal job in allaying any concerns or fears that I had, and helped run mediations between myself and my ex-spouse in a comfortable, fairly low-stress, and overall effective manner. Katie Fox is a consummate professional, and understands fully, the nuances around divorce, and the toll it can take on both partners, and their families. I felt heard and understood, and for that, I am extremely appreciative and grateful of her.

To anyone injured, I was in the beginning of what appeared to me to be a simple accident. It ultimately turned into a complicated, multi-plaintiff, multi-defendant with as many as six law firms involved. It had as many twists and turns as a good suspense movie. I shudder to think what the outcome might have been if I had chosen another firm. As I healed from my injuries, Lance made sure I had excellent care and did not come out of pocket for the spine and nerve damage and physical therapy or any of the other consultants and specialists my case required. Lance navigated the complexities of the case masterfully with the skill that only comes from years of successful experience. As my case was winding up, a twist by one of the other firms, which I believe would have completely derailed most of the other firms, reared its head threatening to not only extend the case at least another year but possibly leaving me with nothing in the end. As I was starting to panic, Lance calmed me down and assured me things were well in hand. Within weeks he turned this body blow into a huge settlement that I don’t believe any other firm would have been able to pull off. Lance's strategy, his relationships, and his savvy at the negotiation table and with the court mediator were sheer masterful. His staff kept me up to date every step of the way and were available to me for questions, concerns, update and anything I needed. If you are injured Lance is not only a great choice to represent you but the only choice if you want to reach a great settlement. Don't let what appears to be a slam dunk or garden variety accident\case fool you. Lance, his staff, and his firm are absolutely the best, and when things take an unexpected turn you want Lance in your corner.

Following a distressing car accident, I sought the expertise of Carpenter and Zuckerman, grappling with the aftermath of sustaining multiple injuries and the total loss of my vehicle due to another driver's blatant disregard for a red light. Amid my upheaval, I remembered a friend's characterization of Paul Zuckerman as a "Super Tough, yet approachable figure with a generous heart and a distinctive New York Attitude." Their esteemed reputation, I discovered, is indeed well-earned.
In the aftermath of a serious accident, one needs more than mere legal representation; one requires a steadfast advocate who not only tirelessly champions your cause but also deeply values your well-being. From the moment I stepped into their office, the sense of being in capable hands was immediate. Despite the firm's acclaim and their distinction as "Super Lawyers," Paul Zuckerman personally offered his guidance, radiating confidence and solace.
Right from our initial conversation, I was thoroughly convinced of Carpenter and Zuckerman's commitment to securing the comprehensive compensation I rightfully deserved. Paul's assurance of having a committed team in my corner was exemplified not just in words but in action, particularly by Gabriela, who emerged as an unwavering pillar of support; Ivy Callahan, the Department Director of the Lien Department, who was exceptional in swiftly finding an alternative MRI center, securing an appointment in real time, and seamlessly managing the billing and scheduling details; and Anastasiya, the lien negotiator, who worked tirelessly to ensure my medical bills were negotiated down to the bare minimum. The results of her efforts were beyond my expectations, showcasing the depth of commitment and skill within the team.
As my recovery and the legal challenge progressed, Zuckerman and Carpenter assertively confronted the defendant's insurance company, striving for the highest compensation possible. Despite their initial insufficient offer, Paul Zuckerman's steadfast confidence instilled patience in me. His belief in the firm's expertise imbued me with profound trust.
Carpenter and Zuckerman's formidable prowess was unmistakably demonstrated, compelling the insurance company to acknowledge their disadvantage against such a tenacious legal force. In a matter of weeks, they conceded to the demanded settlement amount, a testament to the firm's vigorous advocacy recognized by all.
Under Paul Zuckerman's leadership, Carpenter and Zuckerman operate with unmatched precision and resolve, mirroring a well-coordinated force dedicated to securing justice for their clients, akin to a seasoned general leading a disciplined infantry into battle.
Reflecting on my journey with Carpenter and Zuckerman, it evokes the pinnacle of service excellence, Patrick Mahomes' indomitable spirit, Einstein's intellectual dominance, and the fierce determination of a charging bull. I am profoundly grateful to the entire team, including Anastasiya and Ivy Callahan, for transforming what could have been an overwhelming ordeal into a seamless journey of support and resolution.
Moreover, even after securing my settlement, the firm maintained frequent updates, ensuring clarity on the progress of my disbursement with comprehensive messages that eliminated any doubt about the status of my case. My heartfelt appreciation extends to Carpenter and Zuckerman for their exceptional service, unwavering dedication, and the continuous, transparent communication that guided me through this journey.

My car was rear ended, aggravating a bulging disc. Carpenter & Zuckerman set up all my doctor appointments and paid for everything up front. They were able to get me a settlement for both my injury case and property damage case. I am very happy with the way they handled my case.

What a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Do for You
A wrongful death lawyer specializes in representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.
If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:
- Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
- Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
- Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
- Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
- Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
- Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.
Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.
What Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Do?
A wrongful death lawyer provides a wide range of services to help families navigate the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the death: Conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, gathering evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
- Establishing liability: Identifying who is legally responsible for your loved one’s death, whether it’s an individual, company, or government entity, and building a case showing how their negligence or wrongful actions caused the death.
- Calculating damages: Helping you determine the full extent of your financial and emotional losses, including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
- Filing a wrongful death claim: Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit within the statute of limitations in your state.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal team to negotiate a fair settlement for your losses.
- Representing you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Handling legal deadlines: Ensuring that all legal filings are completed within the deadlines set by your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases.
How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
- Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.
It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
- Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.
Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Death Lawyer
Before hiring a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and resources to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with wrongful death cases?
Ensure the lawyer has successfully handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s medical malpractice, car accidents, or workplace deaths. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the lawyer’s contingency fee percentage and any additional costs, such as case expenses, that you may be responsible for. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges that could affect the outcome. -
How long will the process take?
Wrongful death cases can take time to resolve, so ask how long the lawyer expects the process to last, from filing the claim to reaching a settlement or going to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
What types of damages can I recover?
Ask the lawyer to explain the types of compensation you may be entitled to, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Death Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable wrongful death lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for wrongful death experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in wrongful death cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on wrongful death cases.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or local bar associations can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to wrongful death and personal injury law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Death certificate: Bring a copy of your loved one’s death certificate, as this is a key document in wrongful death cases.
- Medical records: If applicable, bring your loved one’s medical records, autopsy reports, or any documentation of their medical care leading up to their death.
- Accident or incident reports: If the wrongful death resulted from an accident, bring any police reports, accident reports, or workplace incident reports.
- Financial records: Provide documentation of your loved one’s income, benefits, and financial contributions to the family to help calculate economic damages.
- Correspondence: Bring any communication you’ve had with the responsible party, their insurance company, or legal representatives.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions for the lawyer about the legal process, potential outcomes, and fees.
- Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the events leading up to and following your loved one’s death.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice.
