Free case review
Do I have a case?
It's the question everyone asks first, usually late at night, usually after something has gone badly wrong. A contract nobody honored. A job that ended the wrong way. A parent whose savings don't add up. A lawsuit in the mailbox with your name on it.
The honest answer is: it depends on the facts, and you already have the facts. The five questions below take about two minutes. At the end you get a plain-language read on whether this is worth a conversation with us. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too.
What happened?
Nothing you enter here makes us your lawyers yet, and nothing is sent until you press Send.
What makes something a case
Four things, in most of the matters we take on. Someone owed you something: a contract, a paycheck, a duty of care, a law that protects you. They didn't deliver. It cost you — money, a job, property, a parent's security. And it isn't too late: most California claims have a deadline of between one and four years from when the problem happened, some much shorter, so sooner is always better than later.
This page and the quiz are general information, not legal advice about your situation. Taking the quiz doesn't make you our client; that only happens when we both sign an engagement agreement. Please don't put confidential details into the quiz — keep those for when we speak. And no one can promise how a case will end, including us.
How we charge
Three ways we work. Some cases we take on contingency — no fee unless we win; if there's no recovery you don't pay us a fee, though you may still be responsible for case costs, which we explain in writing before anything starts. Some cases we do for a fixed fee you know before we begin. Some are hourly. We tell you which applies in the first call.
