Q: How long does the law firm take to call me back after I submit my information?
A: Normally the law firm returns calls in less than 15 minutes but this could be as late as the next weekday.
Q: Do I have a case? What’s my case worth? Are you a lawyer?
A: I’m not a lawyer myself. I can collect your information and connect you to a law firm. The lawyer will review your claim and explain your options to you.
