Questions, from both sides of a referral
Severity, complexity, or both. These are matters involving death, permanent disability, catastrophic injury, or a defendant whose conduct reached more than one person — the cases that need investigators, life-care planners and expert testimony rather than a claims adjuster and a demand letter.
Founder Adam Zayed is a Licensed Illinois and Florida Attorney, and partner Andrew Miller is a Licensed Illinois and Florida Attorney. Matters outside those states are handled with local co-counsel.
Yes. Referrals and co-counsel arrangements are a core part of this practice, including matters that need resources or subject-matter depth a referring firm would rather not build in-house. Fee division follows the applicable rules of professional conduct in the governing jurisdiction.
That is agreed in writing before anything moves. Referring attorneys can stay as involved as they want to be — from co-counsel with an active role through to a straightforward referral — and the arrangement is documented at the outset rather than negotiated later.
Nothing. Case review is free, and these matters are handled on a contingency fee, which means legal fees are owed only if there is a recovery.
It depends on the state and the type of claim, and the deadline can be shorter than people expect — claims against public entities in particular can require notice within months. Because the clock is already running, the useful step is having the specific facts reviewed rather than estimating from a general rule.
