What to Expect During Your Case

Step 1: Initial Consultation

During your free consultation, our attorneys listen to your story and help you figure out if you should take the next step.

Step 2: Evidence Collection

We gather copies of key information like medical records, accident reports, and other evidence. We also file a motion that stops anyone from editing or deleting records that could be useful in proving your claims.

Step 3: Expert Assessment

We bring your case to a qualified expert who can evaluate the evidence and determine if something went wrong that shouldn’t have.

Step 4: Negotiation

We put pressure on insurance companies to offer you the full and fair settlement you and your family deserve for your injuries.

Step 5: Litigation

If we can’t secure the right settlement from insurers, we take the case to court and present it to a jury.

Step 6: Case Resolution

You only pay us if we win your case.

Common Questions We Can Answer

How do I know if I have a case?

You may have a medical malpractice or personal injury case if you were seriously hurt because of someone else’s negligence. The only way to know for sure is to have an attorney review what happened and discuss your legal rights.

What if I’m not sure who is responsible?

You don’t have to know who caused your injury or who may be legally responsible. Our team will investigate the incident and determine what went wrong.

How long do I have to contact a lawyer?

The sooner, the better. If you believe you have a potential case, you should schedule a consultation with a qualified attorney as soon as possible. There are strict statutes of limitations for filing injury claims, and if too much time passes, you may lose your right to file a lawsuit.

How much does it cost to hire you?

At The Mellino Law Firm, your consultation is free. It also costs nothing upfront to hire us. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
