Referrals

By submitting information to us, you agree that we may release your contact information, and all information that may be submitted by you to law firms with whom we partner expressing an interest in possibly pursuing your potential claim(s) and you further agree and understand that such law firms may contact you directly should they have any interest in discussing your potential claim(s) with you, unless you request in writing your desire not to be contacted. In no event, however, shall we be obligated to release any submitted information to law firms with whom we partner, including contact names, but rather may or may not do so at our sole discretion. Furthermore, in no event is any law firm obligated to contact you with regard to your potential claim(s), but rather may or may not do so at its sole discretion. By accepting the submission of your information, we do not offer any advice on whether you may have a legal remedy for your potential claim(s), and make no representation or guarantee that you will obtain satisfaction, justice or compensation for your potential claim(s), and we do not offer any opinion whatsoever concerning the merits of any potential claim you might have. If, after discussing your specific case with an attorney, the attorney is willing to represent you in the specific matter you have presented to them, they will send you a retainer agreement that you will need to sign and return before they can represent you in that specific matter. If either the attorneys or you do not agree in writing to create an attorney-client relationship, none will exist. In the meantime, you are encouraged to seek and retain the advice of other counsel if you intend to pursue any potential claims to avoid having your potential case barred by relevant statutes of limitation, statutes of repose, and/or other similar deadlines by which you must bring a lawsuit or lose the right to do so.

Loevy + Loevy may refer prospective clients to other law firms located throughout the country, who form relationships with Loevy + Loevy, and are experienced in handling such cases. Loevy + Loevy may also undertake legal representation in certain cases, and will affiliate with other legal counsel located throughout the country to provide legal representation. The laws of each state are different. This website may contain information about general or common rules that apply in some states. This website may also contain information about verdicts or settlements in past cases. You cannot assume that the same rules apply, or that the same result would occur, in your state or any particular state or case. Statutes of limitations are especially important. Every state has laws called the “statute of limitations” which set a deadline to file a lawsuit. A lawsuit filed too late may be thrown out, regardless of the defendant’s fault or the severity of the injuries. Some states have a two-year period for negligence injury claims; the time period in other states may be longer or shorter. Because investigation and research is needed to identify all possible defendants and theories of recovery, if you have an accident or injury, you should consult a lawyer as soon as possible.

Relationship Among Lawyers

Loevy + Loevy lawyers are licensed to practice law only in certain states, but we associate on certain types of cases with lawyers licensed or otherwise admitted to practice law throughout the United States (the “Attorney Group”). Attorneys and law firms associated by Loevy + Loevy are determined by Loevy + Loevy, in the professional judgment of its principals, to be experienced in and qualified to handle the litigation matters for which they are associated.

Initial consultations on a particular matter are provided free of cost, and upon agreement with the potential client and in the sole discretion of Loevy + Loevy, Loevy + Loevy will enter into a contract for legal services with the potential client which describes in writing the fee charged for a particular engagement, as well as other terms of the representation, including disclosure that other attorneys or law firms may be associated to participate in the representation. If known, the identity of any affiliated attorney or law firm that will have a role in the representation will be included in the contract. Otherwise, in the event that counsel is associated on a particular matter, the client will be informed and any consent required by applicable rules of professional conduct will be obtained.

All matters are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning that a client pays no fees or costs unless a recovery is obtained on the client’s behalf, unless otherwise requested by You and agreed to by Loevy + Loevy. Fees paid in the event of a recovery are a percentage of the total recovery, as agreed to with the client prior to undertaking the representation and as set forth in the contract for legal services, and are intended to be in accordance with standards in the legal services industry and, where applicable, state rules of professional responsibility. Costs incurred in the representation are deducted from the client’s portion of any recovery but are not required to be paid out of pocket by the client. If there is no recovery, the client will not be responsible for any cost incurred in the representation (unless expressly agreed to by the client prior to the cost being incurred). The use of affiliated attorneys or law firms does not increase the fee, although other factors may increase the fee.

Inquiries made through this website are typically responded to by Loevy + Loevy. We reserve the right to not respond to inquiries on this website and may, at our discretion, direct inquiries to other attorneys or law firms without an initial response. In such instances, Loevy + Loevy Law makes no representation regarding the ability of the responding attorney to represent the potential client in accordance with applicable standards of care. Loevy + Loevy may or may not decide to associate as counsel on such cases. Telephone calls made or received by Loevy + Loevy regarding an inquiry made through this website may be recorded for record-keeping, training and quality-assurance purposes.
