Common questions
Who will I actually work with on my case?
A team. An attorney leads the strategy, a paralegal stays with your case from the first call through resolution, and a case manager keeps everything moving. You won’t be handed off to junior staff and forgotten — the people you meet early are the people working your case.
Will I work with one attorney or a team?
A team, with one attorney leading. Plenty of firms assign a single lawyer who then disappears into a caseload. We run cases with an attorney, a paralegal, and a case manager, so there’s always someone who knows your file and can pick up the phone.
What if I prefer to work with someone who speaks Spanish?
That’s available. Our intake team speaks Spanish natively and several of our attorneys are bilingual, so your case can be handled in Spanish from the first call through resolution. Tell us when you reach out and we’ll staff it accordingly.
Can I choose my attorney?
You can tell us who you’d prefer, and we’ll take it seriously. Assignments also depend on the type of case and who has capacity, so we can’t always guarantee a specific attorney — but we’ll explain the match and make sure it’s the right fit for your situation.
Will I have to keep re-explaining my situation to different people?
No. Your team shares notes, and everyone working your case knows your story. You tell it once. If someone new joins later, they read the file before they talk to you — not the other way around.
