Litigation Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about litigation matters.
How much does it cost to hire an attorney?
Our fee structure varies depending on the type of case. Many cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win. For other matters, we offer hourly rates and flat fees. We provide transparent fee agreements and are always happy to discuss costs during your initial consultation.
How long will my case take?
The timeline varies significantly depending on the type of case and its complexity. Simple matters may resolve in weeks, while complex litigation can take years. During your consultation, we'll provide a realistic assessment of the expected timeline for your specific situation.
What should I do if I'm injured in an accident?
First, seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene, get contact information from witnesses, and report the incident to relevant authorities. Don't give recorded statements to insurance companies without legal advice. Contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What is the statute of limitations for my case?
Statutes of limitations vary by case type and jurisdiction. In New York, personal injury claims generally have 3 years, contract disputes 6 years, and employment discrimination claims may require filing with agencies within 300 days. Contact an attorney promptly to ensure you don't miss important deadlines.
What should I bring to my initial consultation?
Bring all relevant documents such as contracts, correspondence, court papers, medical records, photos, and a timeline of events. The more information you provide, the better we can assess your case. Don't worry if you don't have everything—we can discuss what additional documents may be helpful.
