Frequent Questions

In an accident or personal injury matter, our fee is contingent upon the settlement or verdict we obtain for you.  This means, that if our Cleveland personal injury attorneys cannot obtain compensation for your injuries, you will not be responsible for any legal fees whatsoever.  If we obtain a favorable settlement or verdict on your behalf, then our firm will receive a percentage of the settlement.  This will be explained in detail at our initial meeting.
