If you have been injured and have been contacted by the other party’s insurance company, refrain from making any statement until you have consulted with an attorney licensed in this field. We can guide you as to your rights.

People often ask how much they will be able to be compensated after an auto accident. This amount is mostly determined by how severe your injuries were, which is measured by the amount of your medical bills, the type of injuries you sustained, and the recovery length.

Your lawyer should explain your options, but ultimately you must feel confident in your approach and decisions regarding the trial. Don't be afraid to push back.

While you may have no problem understanding legal jargon from your insurance company normally, that may not be the case during your recovery. When you need to know in plain words what’s going on with your claim, you may want to work with a personal injury attorney.

A common mistake that clients make when charged with a crime is agreeing to a polygraph test in order to try to prove their innocence but, results of polygraph tests can be manipulated and are often not even admissible in court. Remember, talk with your attorney before consenting to a polygraph.

If you have been injured by someone else, you deserve to be made whole. It’s hard to decide what to do- but an attorney can help you sort through the offers they send and if they are not appropriate, they can help negotiate something better.

It is tough to find common ground with a person accused of a crime that could mean a life behind bars or a death sentence, but a criminal attorney knows how to relate and communicate with clients and establish trust.

Many states have capped punitive damage jury awards, but there is no limit on settlements. We counsel our clients that settlement amounts will depend primarily on the nature, and severity of the injury, and the economic losses suffered because of the injury.

Clients who choose to hire a criminal attorney can have peace of mind which comes from knowing that their lawyer has decades of working experience and has successfully handled other cases just like theirs.

Be careful with social media outlets following an accident. Many people religiously update what's going on in their lives for all to see. It's smart not to post comments or opinions related to your accident because they could be used against you.

A criminal defense attorney is also a reliable support system for clients battling with anxiety and fear. A criminal attorney can even bring in behavioral experts and professionals to help clients cope with their emotional burdens.

When photographing bruises, injuries, and scars for a personal injury claim, be sure to take one whole person shot, as well as close-ups of all injuries from more than one angle.

In many cases, most judges will offer a lighter sentence in exchange for a guilty plea at the arraignment. By pleading guilty and avoiding a court trial, you may receive a lesser punishment and avoid a potentially harsher penalty. However, this is on a case by case basis and your case will need to be reviewed thoroughly.
