Questions About Trial Attorney Work in McMinnville
Straight answers about trial work in Oregon courts. If yours is not here, ask us. The first conversation is free.
Will I have to go to court?
Most injury cases are resolved without ever going to court. In fact, a great many are settled before a lawsuit even has to be filed. Some insurance companies are more stubborn and unfair than others. We’re happy to file a lawsuit and pursue it vigorously, if that’s what it takes to get the insurance company’s attention.
How do I pay for an attorney?
We don’t charge for the initial consultation. If you hire us we would take a percentage of any recovery. If there is no recovery you pay no attorney’s fee.
