Tips on Hiring a Lawyer

Maybe not. Some legal matters – just like some health matters – can be taken care of on your own. But why take that chance, especially if you can get a professional opinion for free? We will give you straight talk. We will tell you if we think you need a lawyer, and we will tell you if we think we are the right one for you.

Start with experience. Make sure your lawyer has previously dealt with cases like yours. Read their biography. Ask what geographic areas they cover. See what results the lawyer has obtained in other cases. Ask about fees. Techmeier Law Firm handles most cases on a contingency basis – if you don’t get a financial recovery, you don’t have to pay a penny in attorney fees or costs.

We will investigate the facts of your case and explain your legal rights and options. We will deal with the insurance companies, which are always looking to pay out as little as possible. We will know what documents, records and evidence to submit in order to maximize your recovery. We will take care of all the paperwork and the million little details, so that you can concentrate on getting healthy again.

You will speak with a courteous professional about the details of your case. There is no commitment. There is no charge for the call, which is completely confidential.

Yes, if we both decide to move forward. We will make the initial appointment as comfortable as possible. Seeing a lawyer can be stressful. We will try to alleviate that stress with clear, honest talk. We will discuss the pros and cons of your case, as well as how long it might take and what the likely outcomes might be. We will discuss fees and costs. We will come up with a strategy customized for your unique situation.

No. The first meeting is free. At that time we will discuss attorney fees and costs so that you will have a clear idea of what lies ahead. Most of our cases are handled on a contingency fee basis – if you do not get a recovery, you pay us no fee or costs.

Information About Accident and Injury Cases

A class action is a lawsuit that allows many people to bring a legal claim as a single group, called a class. Typically, the class members have been harmed in similar ways by the same defendant. Multi-district litigation is a similar concept. In multi-district litigation, however, the cases are not combined in a class even though they might be tried in one court before the same judge. They remain individually active, so that damage awards or settlements are tailored to the individual plaintiffs. Techmeier Law Firm is experienced in handling both class actions and multi-district litigation.

The statute of limitations is the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. If the statute of limitations has passed, your claim might be forever barred. Different statutes of limitation apply to different kinds of cases. The clock is running – that’s why it is important to contact an attorney without delay.

It depends. Most cases settle prior to trial. Whether to settle or not is always your decision, although we will advise you of the pros and cons either way. If the case does not settle, you may have no recourse but to file a lawsuit and go to court. From day one, we prepare all our cases as if we were headed to trial. That way we are always ready when the time comes.

Every case is different. Depending on the facts of your case, you might be entitled to monetary damages for pain and suffering, medical expenses, property loss, hospital bills, lost income, scars and disfigurement, rehabilitation costs, wrongful death, and possibly punitive damages.
