FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

📌 Firm & Practice Scope

What Areas Of Law Does The Firm Handle?

We represent clients in:
• Personal Injury (Car Accidents, Cycle Accidents, Truck Accidents, Uninsured Motorists, Boat Wreck, Pedestrian Accidents, Taxi or Rideshare Accidents, Catastrophic Injuries, Product Liability, Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), Slip and Falls, Spinal Injuries, Neck Injuries)
• Workers’ Compensation (industrial injuries, denied claims, PPD awards)
• Criminal Defense (including DUI, misdemeanor, and traffic offenses)
Our attorneys are licensed in Nevada and focus exclusively on these practice areas.

Do You Provide A Free Consultation Before Representation?

Yes. We offer a free consultation to evaluate legal issues, potential liability, damages, deadlines, and the appropriate path forward. This consultation is confidential and protected by the attorney-client privilege.

💼 Engagement & Fees

How Are Fees Structured For Personal Injury Matters?

We operate on a contingency-fee basis. Legal fees are collected only if compensation is recovered on your behalf through settlement or judgment. Our firm never makes more than our client.

Standard litigation costs (filing fees, experts, medical records, etc.) are discussed during engagement and advanced by the firm unless otherwise agreed.

How Are Fees Structured For Criminal Defense Or Traffic Cases?

Civil Traffic matters start at $50.  Criminal Traffic matters depend on the court cited in and what you were cited for.  Criminal defense matters typically involve a fixed fee or retainer, depending on the complexity of charges, anticipated court appearances, and procedural posture.

Will I Sign A Written Fee Agreement?

Yes. Our engagement letter clearly outlines the scope of representation, fee terms, and client rights, consistent with the Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct.

⚖️ Case Process & Client Rights

How Long Do I Have To Bring A Claim? (Statutes Of Limitations)

Time limits vary:
• Most Nevada personal injury claims must be filed within two years from the date of injury (NRS 11.190).
• Workers’ compensation claims must be submitted to the employer/insurer within strict statutory deadlines after the injury. Once a workers’ compensation claim has closed, it has lifetime reopening rights.
• Criminal defense deadlines are governed by charging decisions and procedural rules.
Failure to act in a timely manner can permanently bar recovery — early involvement of counsel is strongly advised.

Do I Have To Appear In Court?

Not always. Many personal injury matters resolve pre-litigation. If litigation or trial becomes necessary, your attorney will appear with you and guide you throughout.
In criminal matters, certain hearings may be waived or handled by counsel; others mandate personal appearance.

For traffic matters, no, we go to court on your behalf.

How Will The Firm Communicate With Me?

You will work directly with a licensed attorney and an assigned legal team. We maintain open communication, provide status updates, and promptly respond to inquiries as your case progresses. We will communicate you via phone, text, and/or email, whichever is your preferred method of communication.

🧾 Insurance, Evidence & Case Evaluation

What Documents Should I Provide When We Begin?

Any accident reports, photographs, medical records, or provider information, insurance details, C4 form (for a Work Comp case) wage loss documentation, and any correspondence from insurers or government entities.
For criminal/traffic cases: charging documents, citations, discovery, and any related communications.

How Do You Determine The Value Of A Personal Injury Case?

We evaluate:
• Liability and comparative fault issues
• Nature, severity, and permanency of injuries
• Medical treatment and future medical needs
• Lost wages and earning capacity
• Applicable insurance coverage and policy limits
• Expert assessments and admissible evidence
No attorney can ethically guarantee a result, but you will receive a clear analysis of strengths, risks, and likely outcomes

Will You Negotiate With My Insurance Company?

Yes. We handle all communications with insurers and defense counsel, protecting you from tactics designed to minimize claims or elicit harmful statements.

🔍 Litigation & Trial Strategy

What Happens If The Case Does Not Settle?

We are fully prepared to litigate. This may include:
• Filing a Complaint in District Court
• Written discovery, depositions, expert disclosures
• Motion practice and pre-trial proceedings
• Presentation of evidence before a judge or jury
You will be briefed at each stage and involved in strategic decisions.

How Long Does Litigation Take?

Timelines vary based on case complexity, court docket, and discovery needs. Personal injury litigation commonly spans 12–24 months or longer. Workers’ compensation and criminal cases follow their own statutory schedules.

🏛️ Professional Standards

Who Will Handle My Case?

Your matter will be overseen by an experienced Nevada attorney, supported by a trained legal team. We do not outsource core legal work or delegate strategy decisions to non-lawyers.

What Is Your Approach To Resolution?

We seek efficient, fair resolution — but are prepared to try cases when necessary to protect your rights and maximize compensation or secure the best possible outcome. Not just for criminal matters, for all cases!

What Languages Are Available For Client Service?

We offer multilingual support in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Korean to ensure clear communication throughout the representation.

    These guys are great. Very efficient and handled what I needed very professionally. Highly recommended.

    - Autumn W.

    A friend recommended I call them for my speeding ticket. The lady informed me since it was my first offense Las Vegas Municipal Court was already offering ticket reduction, no traffic school, and no points as long as I pleaded no contest and paid online. She could’ve easily gotten me for my $50 and I wouldve never known! She even walked me through the whole process online. I wish I could give this place 10 stars.

    - Amanda G.

    They were super helpful I went to them when I got into a car accident they took care of everything and immediately set up an appointment to see some doctors super friendly staff. Car accidents can be super stressful and they made me feel welcomed and cared for. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Hopefully I have no more car accidents but if I do they’re my people to go to.
