At The APEX Law Firm, there is never a cost or obligation for our initial evaluation of your claim. We will sit with you, listen to your side, and help you decide if you have a valid claim. Then, we will guide and educate you every step of the way. If you do not have a valid claim, we will tell you so. We will not take your case if we cannot help you. There are various fee agreements available and how each case is structured is dependent upon what type of case it is and the individual facts involved. For example: The amount of any retainer will depend on the facts of your case and will be determined in your initial consultation. We are always willing to work with our Clients. A: There is no definite answer to this question. Every case is dependent upon its individual facts and circumstances. Every civil case has a statute of limitations, which means that you have a limited time to bring your claim before you are barred from doing so. There are certain exceptions, but it is always best to consult with an attorney early on to determine if your case has merit and to understand what your options are. Most civil case take a long time. Once the other side is put on notice that you are seeking legal action, they can choose to settle right away or proceed with discovery. If liability or damages are even remotely questionable, they will elect to go through discovery, which will take time. In rare occasions, settlement may be the best solution and some cases can be settled very quickly. In criminal cases, the length of the case depends on the charges, the circumstances, and the Client’s willingness to accept a plea deal. In most criminal matters, the State will offer a reduction in charges and penalty in exchange for a plea of guilty. Sometimes it makes sense to accept the State’s offer, other times it doesn’t. You may also be eligible for a pretrial diversionary program. Once the program is successfully completed by the Client, the case is dismissed by the Court and cleared from your record. There are many options and you should discuss all possible options with an experienced criminal defense attorney. If your case is taken to trial, despite your constitutional right to a speedy trial, it will still take months to possibly years to reach a final resolution. The amount of time it takes, is dependent on you as the Client and it is very important that you work with your attorney every step of the way to find the best possible solution that is right for you.

If you are injured by the negligence of another, you are entitled to recover economic damages such as past and future medical costs, lost wages, property losses, etc. You may also be entitled to recover for non-economic damages for past and future pain and suffering, mental distress, and permanent scarring, disfigurement, or wrongful death. The amount of damages depends on many factors and may require experts to establish and present evidence in order to substantiate. There is no way to evaluate the full value of the case until all of your damages and losses are discovered and fully assessed. A: Our attorneys are experienced in many areas of law.
