Questions
What types of personal injury cases do you handle?
We handle all major personal injury cases including truck accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, traumatic brain injuries, and sexual abuse claims across Ohio.
How are legal fees structured?
We work on a contingency fee basis - you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fees come from the settlement or verdict amount.
What if the accident happened months ago?
Ohio's statute of limitations typically allows 2 years for injury claims, but exceptions exist. Contact us immediately to ensure timely filing and evidence preservation.
Can I afford legal representation?
Yes. Our contingency model removes financial barriers, and we advance case costs that are only repaid from successful recoveries.
How long do cases typically take?
Most cases resolve within 12-24 months through negotiation, though complex litigation may take longer. We prioritize efficient resolution while preparing for trial when necessary.
