What you can expect during each stage of a personal injury lawsuit.

STEP ONE

STEP 1

Free Office Consultation

Once you contact our office for a free consultation, your personal injury attorney will discuss your case with you and determine whether you have a valid claim. You should come to the meeting prepared with medical records, police reports and other accident-related documentation.

STEP 2

Hire, Investigate and Gather Evidence

If you decide to hire us, we will thoroughly research your case to determine the extent of damage and injury. Our team will also collaborate with experts when necessary. Your personal injury lawyer will get in touch with the insurance company representing the opposing party. You will be updated about negotiations and other significant developments throughout the lawsuit process.

Accept a Settlement or File a Lawsuit

Not all personal injury claims result in a lawsuit. Your lawyer will inform you about any settlement offers presented by the other party. If the case cannot be resolved upfront with a settlement, your lawyer may file a lawsuit seeking compensation.

Mediation

Mediation is an informal proceeding in which both parties engage in negotiations under the oversight of a neutral mediator. It can occur at any point upon request. If both sides are unable to arrive at an agreement during mediation, the case is scheduled for trial.

Trial

The discovery phase occurs prior to trial. It consists of each party investigating and evaluating the other’s legal defenses and evidence. If the case has not been resolved, it will proceed to trial and lead to a verdict, most often delivered by a jury. Your personal injury lawyer will present your case in court and fight for the best possible outcome.

STEP ONE

STEP 1

After the Arrest

Once you have been arrested, you are in the custody of the criminal justice system and “booked” pending the matter’s resolution in court. You may be released on the promise to appear in court to face the charges. After the police complete their investigation, the District Attorney or City Attorney will determine whether there is enough evidence for charges to be filed against you.

STEP 2

Arraignment

The court will set the date for an arraignment once the prosecution files charges. You, the defendant, will be advised of the charges and your constitutional rights. A not guilty plea will be entered.

What you can expect during each stage of a criminal defense lawsuit.

STEP THREE

STEP 3

Pretrial Hearing

After the arraignment, the court will set a pretrial hearing where your defense attorney and the District Attorney will discuss whether the case may be resolved without going to trial, usually through a plea bargain. If no plea agreement is reached in a felony case, the court will set a preliminary hearing to see whether there is enough evidence to take the matter to trial.

STEP 4

Trial

During the trial, your defense attorney and the prosecution will present their cases to the jury and cross-examine witnesses. After this is done, the court will hear closing arguments and jurors will enter deliberations in order to determine a verdict. From the moment you are arrested to the conclusion of the trial, your defense attorney will fight to ensure that your rights are not impeded upon and help you obtain the best possible outcome.

1 | Why hire a lawyer

It’s simple - lawyers get better results.

Most of us have met someone who “knows a guy who can do your court paperwork” or has tried to handle their own case only to find themselves in way over their head. One thing is certain - going without a lawyer will always be cheaper. But cheaper is not always a good thing.

The legal system can be challenging to navigate. Some people think that a quick online search can make you an expert at almost anything. While it may help you fix a clogged sink, self-diagnosing a medical problem after a couple minutes on WebMD or handling your case in court requires a different level of expertise. We have the experience to avoid the pitfalls faced by those less prepared. Don’t chance making a mistake and leave the legal headaches to us.
