Your first conversation

Start with your questions.

What is a tort claim?

A tort claim is a civil claim involving an alleged legal wrong. The required elements, available defenses, and filing deadlines depend on the particular claim and facts. Harm alone does not establish that a claim will succeed.

What we can discuss

Start with the facts and the timing.

Describe the concern

Prepare a brief chronology and explain what happened without sending sensitive details through general email.

Identify relevant records

Gather documents and communications that relate to the concern, keeping original records intact.

Discuss whether the firm can help

The office can explain the consultation process and discuss whether the matter is within the firm’s practice.

A focused conversation about a possible next step.

At a consultation, discuss the nature of your concern, important dates, and the documents you have. The attorney can explain what additional information may be needed and whether the firm can offer further representation.

Contacting the office does not extend a filing deadline or by itself engage the firm. No recovery, compensation amount, or other outcome is promised. If you know of a deadline, tell the office when arranging the consultation.

Straightforward answers

Questions you may be asking

Does the firm handle every type of civil claim?

No assumption should be made about acceptance of a particular matter. Contact the office first to ask whether your concern falls within the firm’s practice and to discuss the appropriate consultation.

What should I send before a consultation?

Ask the office for the appropriate process before sending documents. Please do not include sensitive details in a general email or website inquiry.

Does contacting the firm protect a filing deadline?

No. A request for information or an appointment does not extend a deadline. Tell the office promptly about any known date and obtain advice about the applicable requirements.
