Do I need a lawyer?
There is really only one way to find the answer to this question. Ask a lawyer. Too many times a client will ask the wrong person if they should hire or seek the advice of a lawyer. An insurance adjuster will not likely advise the injured to hire a lawyer. A business competitor or an opposing party to a contract will not likely advise you to hire an attorney. These individuals are often the persons asked if a lawyer should be hired. Call our offices and we would be pleased to advise you whether or not the services of our offices can assist you in any way.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
This is not a simple question. The time to file a lawsuit changes dependent on what type of matter you have. Lawsuits and their timeframes are governed by a Statute of Limitations. A Statute of Limitations can be a term of months, days, or years. A Statute of Limitations varies from type of matter and/or court. A Statute of Limitations can also be delayed for many reasons. The answer to this question is best found by contacting a lawyer.
