Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a civil case and a criminal case?
A criminal case is brought by the State and can lead to jail, fines, or probation. A civil case is a dispute between private parties, such as people, businesses, or insurers, and usually asks for money, for someone to stop doing something, or for a contract to be honored.
Is the first consultation free?
It depends on the matter. Uncontested divorces are handled for a flat fee quoted up front. Consultations for cease and desist letters carry a fee, which we explain when you call. Consultations on denied or underpaid roof and hail claims are free.
Do civil disputes always end up in court?
No. Many civil disputes are resolved with a letter, a phone call, or a negotiated agreement. A lawsuit is usually the last step, not the first.
