Common questions
What people ask us first.
- I was just served. What do I do first?
- Note the date you were served and get advice immediately. The window to respond is short, and missing it can hand the other side a default judgment without the merits ever being heard.
- Is it worth suing?
- That depends on what is recoverable and whether the other side can actually pay. We would rather tell you a claim is not worth the cost than take it and let you find out later.
- What is discovery, and why does it take so long?
- Discovery is the exchange of documents and testimony before trial. It is where most cases are actually won or lost, and it is the phase people underestimate most.
- Will this go to trial?
- Most civil matters resolve before trial, but the ones that resolve well are usually the ones prepared as though they would not. Preparation is what creates leverage to settle.
