1. Intake
You provide a small set of facts: the type of accident, the city or county in California where it happened, the approximate date, and your contact information. This information is transmitted over an encrypted connection and stored in our secure case-management system.
2. Initial review
Our intake team reviews your submission for the basics:
- Jurisdiction — confirming the matter is governed by California law.
- Statute of limitations — whether the two-year deadline (Code of Civil Procedure §335.1) or shorter government-claim deadline (§911.2) has passed.
- Type of claim — whether it fits within our practice areas.
- Indicators of injury, treatment, and liability.
This intake review is administrative, not legal advice.
3. Consultation with our legal team
If the matter fits our practice, an attorney from our team contacts you for a free consultation. We evaluate the legal merits, explain your options under California law, and answer your questions.
4. Engagement
If you decide to move forward, you sign a written engagement letter. Personal injury matters are handled on a contingency-fee basis — you owe no attorney fee unless we recover compensation. Costs and percentages are disclosed in writing before you sign.
What we do not do
- We do not provide legal advice before you become a client.
- We do not promise a specific outcome, settlement amount, or timeline.
- We do not share your personal information outside our intake process. See our privacy policy.
