How it works

Three steps, and you know where you stand.

You tell us what happened. We put it in order and flag what is missing. A licensed attorney reads it and tells you what to do next. Here is each step, spelled out.

Tell us what happened

Take the time you need

Say it the way you would tell a friend. You do not need legal words, and there is no wrong way to say it.

We ask short questions, one at a time. Where it happened. When. Who else was there. Whether you saw a doctor. If you do not know an answer, say you do not know and keep going. Your answers save as you type, so you can stop, put the phone down, and come back to the same place later.

We organize your answers and flag what is missing

Nothing for you to prepare first

This is the part you do not have to do. We put your story in order so a lawyer can read it fast.

We build a simple file: what happened, when, who was involved, what hurt, what care you got, and what papers exist. Then we look for holes. Maybe there is no report number. Maybe you never said whether the other driver had insurance. We come back and ask you those questions in plain language, and only the ones that matter for your kind of case.

Your words stay the way you said them
Missing items get a short question
Text photos and papers when you find them
None of this decides your case

Loose papers being sorted into labelled folders on a desk — A phone and whatever papers you have are enough to start.

A licensed attorney reads it and gives you a next step

You always hear back

A licensed attorney reads your words and decides the next step.

The attorney sees your answers, anything that may still be missing, and every photo or document you sent. Your own words remain part of the file. Then you get an answer in writing, in the language you chose. If the firm cannot take the matter, you still get a clear answer.

A licensed attorney reads yours
No computer says yes or no
You get an answer either way
Nothing binds you until you sign

What you get back

Four things, in writing, in the language you picked.

Your story, written down and in order

Dates, places, people, injuries, and treatment, laid out on one page you can read and correct.

A list of what is still missing

Plain items like a report number or the name of the clinic, so you know what to look for at home.

The attorney's next step for you

One of three answers, in writing, with the reason behind it and what to do now.

A copy of what you sent

Your answers and anything you sent stay yours. Ask us for a copy at any time.

We do not tell you that you have a case, that you qualify, or what a case might be worth. We do not calculate your deadline. Those are legal judgments, and a licensed attorney handles them with the facts in front of them.

What happens after the attorney reads it

There are three ways this can end. You get one of them, in writing.

Answer one

A lawyer wants to talk about representing you

You get a call or a message to set up a talk. If the firm offers to take your case, the written agreement explains the fee before you sign. You can say no, take it home, or have someone else read it first.

Answer two

Another firm may need to help, and we ask you first

Depending on the location and type of matter, another law firm may need to assist or handle it. We will identify that firm and ask permission before sharing information. Your answers go to one named firm at a time, never to a list of firms.

Answer three

We cannot help, and we say so plainly

Sometimes the firm cannot take a matter. You get told, not left waiting. We send the reason in plain words and a short list of neutral places to try, like your state bar referral line and local legal aid. We do not hold on to you while we look for someone to buy your file.

Referral disclosure

Depending on the location and type of matter, another law firm may need to assist or handle it. We will identify that firm and ask permission before sharing information.

How long each part takes

We will be straight with you about time. Some of it we can tell you. Some of it depends on people, so we do not promise a clock we cannot keep.

There are legal deadlines to bring a claim, and they are different in every state and for every kind of claim. We do not calculate yours on this page. Telling someone now, while you still remember the details, is better than waiting.

The part you control: 5 to 10 minutesThat is the first pass through the questions. Longer matters, like a death in the family or years of exposure to a chemical, take more than one call. You can spread it out.
The part we do: While you wait, nothing is asked of youWe put your answers in order and write down the gaps. If we need one more thing from you, we send a short question by the channel you picked.
The part the attorney does: A licensed attorney reads itA licensed attorney reads your file within one business day. When you are done, we tell you what to expect next and who to ask about it.
If something is urgent: Say so, in any channelTell us if someone died, if a child was hurt, if an insurance company is asking you to sign something, or if you were told there is a deadline coming. Those go to a person sooner. If you are in danger or need care right now, call 911.
