This will largely depend on the facts of your case. At a minimum, you will benefit from consulting a lawyer about your particular situation. The law firm of Ray Hassanlou offers free initial consultations. We can provide you with our opinion regarding your potential case and whether we are the right firm for you. If we cannot help you, we may be able to refer you to another lawyer or resource more suited to your situation.

Our firm represents injured clients on a contingency fee basis. This means that we will only be paid a percentage of the amount we recover for you, plus any costs and expenses that are necessary to resolve your case. Our goal is to handle the case so that you can use your money to take care of yourself and your family while we pursue your claim. The initial consultation with a lawyer is free of charge.

Your first contact, probably a phone call, may be with a paralegal or staff, but when you schedule a meeting, a lawyer will ALWAYS meet with you.

This is one of the most common questions asked by potential clients. Each case is different, and the answer depends on a number of factors. Civil cases compensate the injured person for damages they have suffered. The compensation you receive will depend on many factors, including the extent of your damages, the nature of your injuries, whether or not your injuries are permanent or disfiguring, the amount of your medical bills, the amount of your lost wages, the pain and suffering caused by your injuries, and many other variables, including how much insurance coverage the defendant has available to pay a claim.

Responsibility for the costs advanced by your attorney will depend on the particular fee agreement that you have with your attorney. If our firm represents you, in most cases the firm will advance costs necessary to develop and litigate your case. If your case is not successful, you will not be responsible for any of the costs advanced by our law firm.

If your injuries prevent you from coming to our offices, a lawyer from our firm will schedule a time to meet you at a convenient location, whether that is your home, a hospital, or some other location of your chosing.
