Oakland · Common Questions

Oakland questions, answered.

How much does it cost to hire you?

Nothing up front. We work on contingency — no fee unless we win your case. The first call is free, and you owe nothing to find out whether you have a claim.

How long do I have to file after a Oakland accident?

California sets a firm filing deadline, and it starts the day you got hurt. Some claims have much shorter windows. Don't guess — call and we'll tell you exactly where you stand, today.

What's my case worth?

It depends on your injuries, lost income, and who was at fault. We won't quote a number we can't stand behind — but we'll give you a straight read after we hear what happened.

Do I have to go to court?

Most cases settle without a trial. If going to court gets you a better result, we're ready to take it there. Either way, we handle it — you focus on getting better.
