Do I need a lawyer?

Put simply, if you are wondering whether you need legal advice, call now. Initial consultations carry no obligation and in the unlikely event I can’t help, I will give you options for next steps or people who can. It will only cost you your time.

You may be…

…frightened and angry about your crash. Concerned that the other person wasn’t charged, or that your situation was dismissed by police.

…struggling with your injuries and all the challenges you are facing. You can’t find relief.

…anxious and stressed about money and concerned about your future.

It would be normal for you to need support. The letters from insurance adjusters and the complex forms are overwhelming. Often, the treatment you need is being denied. Let’s chat.

In most of my initial meetings, clients express that they haven’t needed a lawyer before. I get it. Seeking legal advice for anything other than a will, business deal, or real estate transaction, is stressful. But getting help will be the only way to reduce the challenges you are experiencing.

Knowing this is probably new for you, my team and I will make you as comfortable as possible. We will chat. Openly and honestly. We will build trust and you will feel heard and will be understood.

If you’ve been in a crash, you are probably getting: 

  • letters from insurance adjusters who claim they are “here to help you”, but you feel as though they are doing anything but;

  • told “no” whenever you ask for what you think you are entitled to after paying for insurance premiums for years (maybe decades!);

  • caught in a landslide of forms that you don’t understand or are fearful of getting wrong, asking for personal information; and

  • the feeling that there is no one there to believe you, help you and stand up for you; and

  • worried about the impact this crash has on your family, both now and in the future. Family members might be taking care of you, missing their own work, trying to help with your paperwork, or are now needing to pay for or do more work around your home because you can’t.

Sound familiar? If so, please reach out to me for an initial consultation. Here is what you can expect:

Initial Consultation

My consultations are free, and I want to hear your story. In almost all of my initial consultations, I hear the phrase “I’ve never needed a lawyer before.” I get it. In times of hardship and stress, lawyers like me become necessary. As a lawyer that cares about you, you will be supported and treated without being judged.

During our first meeting, in a place and format that meets your needs we will have a conversation about you. You will tell me your story – the one only you know. Here, we will build trust and create a comfortable and safe space for open dialogue. We’ll communicate in plain comfortable language. I save the legal jargon for the courtroom.

My Unique Style

I’ve spent over twenty years becoming the lawyer you need. I can do and have done the suit, tie and heavy polished shoes for many years, but you will find me informally but carefully dressed, confidence-inspiring and fully comfortable with myself. You’ll find my team and I friendly, approachable, and caring. You will experience our passion and we’ll tell you about our unique approach to our work. My office is a place of things that are meaningful to me, and I would be happy to explain each memento.  

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a connector. I take pride in my relationships with people. And this skill of connection has created a vast network of helpful, caring, and competent medical, rehabilitation, and other professionals that my clients can access.

Together, we’ll navigate the next steps, providing you with both the clarity and reassurance you need to know you won’t face these challenges alone.

So, reach out, ask questions and let’s connect.
