David is THE BEST lawyer that I worked with. I'm very grateful for him and his team Harold Torres and Jocelyn Chidsey's dedication and professionalism. They helped me and my son after getting into a really bad car accident. They really cared of our well being. Love the fact that they always communicate with you. I would highly highly recommend Eltringham Law to everyone. I really did my research and this lawyer is truly one of kind!!

What can I say about my experience with the Eltringham Law Group... there is so much! I absolutely had an amazing experience with them! When I got into my car accident, living in Florida, I was extremely skeptical about reaching out to a lawyer because of how sketchy and unprofessional they usually are down here but I am definitely glad I did. From the first point of contact, to the constant communication through email and over the phone updating me every step of the way to the last and final steps of the process was beyond professional with superb customer service. The one thing that intrigued me the most was that they do not advertise on the radio or TV, which means they solely rely only on referrals by word of mouth. I knew right then that it was going to be such a great experience! I highly recommend Eltringham Law Group to any of my friends, family and strangers I don’t know. I am grateful for the experience because not only did they help me but I am walking away with life long friends. Thank you to David and Teresa for all of your help and support.

When I hired McDermott law to represent me, Tim was assigned my case. I couldn't be more pleased. My appeal was built from the ground up with every piece strategically placed. Until now, I had no idea that insurance companies really are the way they are portrayed on film. Just plain sketchy. Tim remained diligent, asking questions and chasing leads. It was impressive.

I hired Tim when my disability carrier was stalling in paying my disability claim. I am an attorney, and had years of experience hiring and supervising other attorneys. I reached out to other attorneys I knew in Denver for a recommendation for this type of case, and heard back from two whose opinion I most respect that Tim was the right choice. They were absolutely right.
It wasn't just that Tim won (which he did), or even that he won when I probably would not have (which is also true), it was that the briefing was exceptional. I know a good attorney when I see one, and Tim is one of the best that I've ever worked with.
It is easy to hire the wrong attorney, especially if you have no idea what you're up against with these evil insurance companies. What I can tell you is that every aspect of my representation was handled at the highest level. Tim was absolutely the best hire of my career, when it mattered the most.

I found Tim to be an outstanding legal professional. He took my case when other firms were not interested. Through his dedication to his clients we were able to file and win the case. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding lawyer to represent you.

Ryan went above and beyond on my case. He spent copious amounts of time researching all aspects of my case and when we went to trial his hard work was exemplified. He was extremely respectful during our court case but was still authoritative in his manner of speaking.
In addition to all mentioned above, he was also very personable. He never made me feel incompetent for any of the questions I was asking. He would respond to my questions at all times, not just 9-5. He made me feel like a friend and not just a client.

Paul Kimsey and his team quickly and tenaciously handled my case. His professionalism, his team's frequent and clear communication with me and their accessibility put me at ease -- and his intransigence with the insurance company was impressive! I am totally confident that he got everything to which I was entitled.
I hope I never NEED a personal injury attorney again, but if I do, there's no doubt I will hire Paul and his staff. I am truly grateful!

Doug Fierberg and the attorneys at the Fierberg National Law Group are amazing social justice activists; focusing on justice for survivors of violence. As a member of our Board of Directors, Doug has provided exceptional pro-bono guidance and input on a variety of matters. His prompt attention to our needs is always appreciated. This combined with decades of real-time experience have made him a valuable resource to our agency.

Any client would and should be honored to have Doug Fierberg representing them. There is no more ethical person -- let alone lawyer -- that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Tireless, fearless, compassionate, well-researched...and funny! Doug checks all the boxes, but he actually and truly cares about the welfare of his clients, long after the filings are done. Doug, Jon, Karen and the rest of the team at the Fierberg National Law Group, do their best to ensure that those who've inflicted loss and harm to their clients are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. In our case, we can never recover from the loss of our child, but those who played active roles in harming him and covering it up, will have to pay a financial price. Everyone should be as lucky as the Braham Family was to be represented by a lawyer like Doug.

Doug Fierberg has represented me in a wide range of capacities - from handling zoning matters on behalf of citizens associations with which I have been associated to representing my business in contract negotiations and other legal matters. In my professional career I have yet to find an attorney with a better combination of analytic and negotiating skills and, most importantly, ethics and compassion.

If you’re looking for an attorney that cares, look no further. Tom takes the time to listen to his clients and represent them to the fullest. Unlike his “big box” competitors, he takes the time to understand you and what you have been through. Stop searching for an injury attorney and call Tom. You’ll be glad you did.

This was my first ever car accident. I’d never gone through this experience before and boy, was I put through the ringer. I was hit by a semi truck changing lanes and pushed into another semi truck to my right. I was scared, confused and this was my very first car (which I loved, so I was very sad about it haha). The moment I spoke to the team and to Chris, I felt comforted. I felt supported and encouraged.
The other guy’s insurance company that we were trying to settle with fired and rehired at least 5 different case workers for my case alone. Now the company is going under. Chris. Was. Awesome. They put red tape, hoops and so many other things in front of him and he just led me through it every step of the way.
During this time (March 2019- December 2019) my car was classified as abandoned, had the wheel stollen off of it, the battery stolen off of it, and some of the items inside were also stolen while it sat on the lot. Someone from the tow yard decided to steal the title on the car. I moved states. I got married. I was taking classes. AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS.
So everything that could have happened during this time DID. And Chris was ALWAYS on top of it. He was so communicative and explained things to me in a way I could understand. I could ALWAYS get a hold of Chris at least within the same day and that’s something I really appreciate.
I’m very grateful and blessed by Chris and the team because of the way they “held my hand” from start to finish, even through the absolute WORST parts of it. Thank you Chris!!

From start to finish, Chris was amazing.
Since the moment we first spoke, my experience with his firm exceeded my expectations. He was prompt, smart, and responsive. I felt he genuinely cared about my wellbeing and my situation. Chris handled my case with professionalism and diligence.
I can’t thank and praise him enough!
Highly recommended!
I want to say that not only will I use Chris again, (if needed) but I don’t doubt he will treat all his clients with the same high quality service he treated me with!
God bless!

Chelsie diligently went to bat for me after the traumatic back to back car accidents I experienced last summer. Her main concern was for me to get well & not suffer from any more pain. My cases weren't huge but she didn't sweep me under the rug because she knew it mattered to me & she saw how the physical & financial strain was negatively affecting my way of life, at no fault of my own. I've never encountered such intelligent, down to earth, empowering and kind women as Chelsie and her team of paralegals. She is the only attorney i'd ever entrust with my well being. THANK YOU CHELSIE!!!

I found myself a victim of roofing contractor that took my money and didn’t perform any work. County law enforcement was moving incredibly slow and I did not have strong confidence I was going to recover any of my money. I decided to hire Stuart Morse Law firm. I mostly worked with Greg on my case and I was immediately impressed with this law firm. This team of law was able to recover all the money the contractor stole from me and almost all the damages the roofing contractor created. The Stuart Morse Team did a great job! Thank you!

I was involved in a Hit and Run auto accident and suffered a serious shoulder injury and had to have surgery. I made a claim with my insurance and they strung me along for over a year saying they would compensate me. I finally realized that they had dropped the ball and stopped returning my calls. I retained the Law Office of Fred A. Truglio and they settled my case for six figures in record time! I highly recommend their services as they are professional, well respected and get results.

To anyone who is suffering from a personal injury case, I highly recommend Brendan Way. He is compassionate, has integrity and full knowledge of the law.
Brendan is extremely experienced, professional, courteous, informative, patient, capable and genuinely cared about my well being.

He’s always been responsive, upfront and honest, a good listener with a great understanding of my case.

He genuinely cares about his clients and is there to fight for you, to make sure you are taken care of and compensated accordingly. You can not go wrong and will not second guess your decision, on hiring Brendan to represent you.

If you are looking for an attorney that possess strength, knowledge, perseverance and personal commitment, then you need Mr. Musmanno and his staff!
I have had the privilege of being Mr. Musmanno's client on several occasions. In retrospect, he's been the only attorney I've ever consulted with since my early 20's. He is who, I consider my attorney. He has been the attorney, that has always made me feel comfortable, even when faced with a very difficult, emotional situation. Words cannot express the type of professionalism that Mr. Musmanno and his staff have given us in our time of need.
Not only does he deeply care about his cases, he cared about me as a person.
I'll also have you know that Mr. Musmanno commuted a great distance from his main office to do my closing on my house. My husband and I will be forever grateful for him going out and beyond for us.
I would never hesitate to recommend Mr. Musmanno and his team, for anybody looking for a high quality legal firm that also has a very personal touch in the making. Thanks again for all your hard work...

Have you ever been hurt? The kind of hurt where you can't walk or care for your family properly?... Well I have. And let me tell you it is scary. And it's even more scary when the reason you were hurt is because someone was negligent. What do you do? Knowing life would never be the same... lingering pain, physical limitations... and what's worse is that it could happen to someone else at any moment. That's how I felt. I walked in to Mr. Musmanno's office not knowing what to expect. I had never met with an attorney for anything and I was scared. By the end of that first meeting I knew everything would be ok. Chris (as he told me to call him instead of Mr. Musmanno) explained everything in plain language. He walked me through all the steps of the legal process. And he succeeded in giving my family something we never had... enough money to start over, physical limitations and all. Nothing will change my scars. But I don't look at them the same anymore. And I have Chris to thank for that.

I got into an accident 6 months before I was going to join the army, and 1 week before I graduated High School. My father referred me to Travis Black. Let me just say that he is amazing! He knew exactly what needed to happen and always expressed my concerns; always reassured me that he would handle everything; I was stress-free. His associates in his law firm where the cherry on the top. Sean specifically always kept me updated with my case. If you have any injury issues that need to be resolved, Travis and his team will not disappoint.
Thank you guys for everything!

My divorce was not an easy one by any means. The other party did not want to be a participate in the process that she initiated, be fair financially, and was in character throughout the two and half yr process. Veronica weeded through this from minute one.
Veronica jumped on board in my case more than halfway through the process from the recommendation of my previous attorney to get my case resolved. There is a reason he recommended her. Veronica was forceful and stern during the negotiations(mediation) with the other party and was always looking out for my best interests financially which included doing everything possible from the first day I spoke to her to avoid trial which is where my case was headed. The reason for the referral from my previous attorney.
During one of most difficult times of your life, Veronica attempted to understand everything on a personal/emotional level as well beyond the business aspect of divorce.
Veronica is extremely knowledgeable of the NJ laws of divorce which is so important. She is professional, cordial, assertive, and great at explaining things/answering questions. Veronica also will hold you accountable if she needs to which is important in this process.
The firm in Springfield is professional and welcoming; which is includes her paralegal Diana O who I would like to acknowledge as well.
In divorce, no one wins or loses. My JOD was fair and equitable at the end of the day which is what should have happened. Veronica accomplished that for me with honesty and sincerity from day one.
Five star review.

I am making this review on behalf of my fiancé and She has been so pleased with this law firm so far. From the lady answering the phones to the attorney Adam she has been really taken care of. We were searching online for a great law office to represent her for her needs and we found amazing reviews on this law firm. The reviews we read on Ashley the receptionist were completely outstanding and the whole experience she had with her on the phone was remarkable. She made her the consult appointment, was very caring and sweet when talking with her and seemed to really care about her needs and wants. Assured us if we had any questions or concerns we could reach out and that someone would be there to help us when we need it. She called us a few more times and was just so great again. She had her consult with the attorney a few weeks ago now and she was so pleased with him as well. He was very professional, cared for her and what she wanted and she trusted him very quickly. He explained everything to her and answered all of the questions she had. She feels really safe at this law firm and anyone looking for an amazing law firm with amazing staff needs to go here! Thank you to the staff for treating my fiancé like she really matters to you! Thank you Keith Taylor law group! You guys are great

Jeff Dawson was hired by me for a very difficult personal injury case. Within a few months he organized my case obtained files and referred me to the appropriate doctors. What a contrast from the previous attorney. I really had a chance to see the difference between a professional well organized attorney and one who does as little as possible. Jeff really went "the extra mile" through mediation and later arbitration. I appreciated the time and energy he put into my case and I will be forever grateful to him.

In 2009 I was in a serious car accident where an uninsured drunk driver doing 85mph hit the car I was driving from behind as I was at a stand still on the 5 fwy. It was a nasty wreak. After getting out of the hospital I was lucky enough to have someone refer Mr. Dawson to me. He met with me immediately and treated me like my case was his number 1 priority. He was very straight with me about what to expect with the process. The insurance on the car I was driving was less than great, only had minimal coverage and like I stated the other driver was uninsured so it was going to be a fight. After all the medical treatment I received over the months to come it totalled out to around $38,000 and the policy only covered $30,000. That doesn't even count for the cost of the car and what Jeff Dawson's legal fee's would be. Jeff and his entire staff stayed in contact with me throughout the claim. It I had a question it either got answered right away or at most within 24 hours. They were all on top of their A game! When the case got settled I was worried about getting everything payed because it was way over the policy limits but Jeff said he would work with the doctors and insurance to get it handled. In the end, all my medical and the car got paid. I even got a call to swing by his office to pick up a check. I still have no clue how he did it but he had a check for $11,000 for me. He had explained in the beginning that if I would have set up my insurance differently, he would have been able to get me a lot more. Jeff is one of the brightess persons that I have met. He genuinely cares about your case and how your handling the situation you've been thrust into. He surrounds himself with the smartest people, great doctor referrals and made a horrible situation a lot less stressful. I have absolutely the utmost admiration for Jeff and the staff he employs. I have recommended him to family and friends. I can't give this guy enough credit, simply an amazing attorney and genuine person. Thanks Jeff Dawson!!!

We were extremely satisfied with the representation of Sean Burke in a personal injury lawsuit I brought as guardian on behalf a relative who is disabled. Mr. Burke was entirely professional, patient, kind, skillful, thorough--I couldn't have asked for a better advocate!

I will keep this as brief as possible. My injuries were so devastating and life changing that I wanted nothing more than to forget about them. This "forgetting" included attempting to ignore any and all aspects of my case. To be honest, I would have quit my case just to be left alone and to be able to move on with my life. It didn't help that, in typical fashion, the defense had done everything in their power for years to blame the accident on me. After years of this and refusing to settle, the case finally went to trial in early 2013. If I remember correctly, it took a couple days of jury selection and on a Thursday or Friday Sean made his opening arguments and began examining expert witnesses. Long story short, when the weekend was over and we came back to court on Monday, the defense was ready to settle! It took a couple days of Sean putting witnesses on the stand for the defense to come to their senses. My life has changed dramatically since then...and for the better this time. To reiterate, I wanted nothing to do with this case for years and IT WAS MY CASE! Sean worked tirelessly for me and my life and I was THE most difficult client to work for. He never quit even when I wanted to. To this day I don not believe I would have won my case with anyone else fighting for me. These days I consider Sean one of my very good friends and I am endlessly thankful for his support.

Sean represented me in a medical malpractice lawsuit, which was very complicated and time consuming. The judgement was in my favor, thanks to Sean's thorough work. Sean was always open and honest with me, and I would definitely work with him again, and I highly recommend him.

My divorce was not an easy one by any means. The other party did not want to be a participate in the process that she initiated, be fair financially, and was in character throughout the two and half yr process. Veronica weeded through this from minute one.
Veronica jumped on board in my case more than halfway through the process from the recommendation of my previous attorney to get my case resolved. There is a reason he recommended her. Veronica was forceful and stern during the negotiations(mediation) with the other party and was always looking out for my best interests financially which included doing everything possible from the first day I spoke to her to avoid trial which is where my case was headed. The reason for the referral from my previous attorney.
During one of most difficult times of your life, Veronica attempted to understand everything on a personal/emotional level as well beyond the business aspect of divorce.
Veronica is extremely knowledgeable of the NJ laws of divorce which is so important. She is professional, cordial, assertive, and great at explaining things/answering questions. Veronica also will hold you accountable if she needs to which is important in this process.
The firm in Springfield is professional and welcoming; which is includes her paralegal Diana O who I would like to acknowledge as well.
In divorce, no one wins or loses. My JOD was fair and equitable at the end of the day which is what should have happened. Veronica accomplished that for me with honesty and sincerity from day one.
Five star review.

I highly recommend Bonnie Bassan if you're looking for a bankruptcy attorney. She's very knowledgeable and was exceedingly patient with the continuous questions I found to ask. Declaring bankruptcy was not an easy decision for me and the guilt and shame I felt was very strong. Bonnie was very compassionate and understanding of the emotional roller-coaster I was on.

Atty Alexander was extremely professional and compassionate in dealing with our legal matters. In fact, my husband and I thought he did such a thorough job with our case that we retained him for a second case shortly after the first was finished. I would highly recommend him to friends and family should they find themselves in need of legal representation.

Paul Scott will talk to you like a real person. I was dealing with another lawyer that talked down to me, wouldn’t return calls, and I felt like I was unimportant.
Paul took my case, worked hard and efficiently, and listened!
I hope to never need a lawyer, but if I do I will hire Paul first. His slogan should be “one call to Paul, that’s all”.

Our son had an accident after his first week of driving on his own. The person he pulled out in front of was injured and both vehicles were damaged beyond repair. We were suddenly served legal documents and were being sued. Mr. Scott was the attorney for our insurance company. We had never been involved in an accident or a lawsuit and didn't know what to expect. His legal expertise and knowledge resulted in the plaintiff settling for what our insurance covered. Maybe even more impressive was the kindness and encouragement that was shown to our son through this whole process by Paul Scott.

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.
