After speaking with you or receiving an e-mail from you, we reserve the right to not make an attorney recommendation. We are not the judge or jury. If we do not recommend a lawyer for you, it does not mean that you do not have a valid claim. It just means that we have chosen not to assist you in pursuing that claim. You still have every right to find a lawyer on your own and we recommend that you do seek legal counsel through other sources.

Once you contact us, by phone or e-mail, we will use our best efforts to contact you within 24 hours to discuss your possible case. We will always do our best to recommend a lawyer for you as soon as possible, but we maintain no responsibility for any problems to your claim or case that may occur from the moment you first contact us, including statute of limitations violations.

We will always recommend the lawyer that we think is best for your particular needs based on the lawyers that we know. It is your responsibility to interview the lawyer and make a decision whether or not to hire them. In addition, the lawyer we refer you to has no obligation to take your case if he or she does not want to.
