Separate an injury claim from a criminal accusation
If you were injured, gather the records and information you already have that relate to the incident, your injuries, and any communications about them. Keeping items organized can help the firm assess what you have and what questions remain. A consultation does not guarantee recovery or representation.
If you are dealing with a criminal accusation, organize the documents you received, including any citation or court notice, and note the issuing agency shown on them. The firm offers criminal defense services and can assess the information you bring. Do not assume an injury-related report and a criminal court notice are interchangeable.
