Do you offer a free consultation?

There is no cost and no obligation when you call me.  I take phone calls 24/7, no matter what time it is, day or night.  Every phone call is free.  I also offer an initial free consultation at my office.  This initial meeting accomplishes two very important things.  It allows me to access the merits of your case and also allows you to decide if hiring me is the best choice for you in the handling of your case.

How do I know if I need to hire an attorney?

If you are unsure if you should hire a attorney, call me!  A phone call will cost you nothing!  I will tell you candidly and honestly if I can help you.  As your attorney I will fight to defend your freedom and advocate for your rights.  

I have been accused/charged with a crime, what do I do now?

First, do not panic.  Secondly, do not talk to the police until you have consulted with a lawyer.  Call me immediately.  If you choose to hire me, I will help you navigate through the often confusing and frightening judicial system.  Even if you do not hire me, it is very important that you consult with a lawyer before taking chances with your freedom and your future.  

I am cash strapped, can I even afford an attorney!?

In these trying economic times I know how hard it can be to come up with extra cash.  I am willing to work with you.  I accept all major credit cards.  I can also arrange for a payment plan.  Don't avoid calling just because you think you may not be able to afford to hire a lawyer.  Your freedom and piece of mind are worth it!  

I am injured and unable to work.  I need help but cannot afford a costly lawsuit.  Can you help me?

If you have suffered an injury and need help recooperating your losses, call me immediately.  Being injured, in pain, and often unable to work can leave you feeling alone and scared.  If I decide to take your case, you will pay nothing until your suit is settled.  All costs and fees are covered by me.  I do not get paid unless you receive a settlement. My fees are in the form of a percentage of amount that you recover and conform to what is required by the Florida Bar.

My insurance company wants me to make a recorded statement.  Should I give them one?

To put it rather simply, NO.  The average person involved in an accident is not as experienced as insurance companies are in litigating claims.  You should speak to an attorney before giving a statement to the insurance company.  

Can I still recover even though the accident is partially my fault?

Florida is a comparative negligence state.  This means that even though you are also responsible for the accident, your recovery will be reduced by the percentage of fault that can be attributed to you.
