Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I work with you?
You should work with me because you know that there’s more to the case and the client than the surface level reveals and you’d like to dig in and find it, and because you want to unearth the emotional core of your client’s story to drive damages.
What kinds of cases should I hire you for?
No case is too small for you to develop more. I really believe that the more you learn about your client and the more you develop the case, the more you realize the magnitude of the damages and the clearer the story becomes. Every case is potentially a big case, and you won’t necessarily know until you look.
De novo appeals are particularly good opportunities for us to work together.
When in the process should I bring you on board?
Please bring me on as early as possible. What we find together may significantly change the value or nature of the case.
What is the process of working with you?
Each case is different, and each lawyer has different needs, so I offer modular and custom services. On a typical case, the process might include some or all of:
Review of materials (settlement brochures, demand letters, transcripts of client interviews, deposition transcripts, etc.)
