At Lewis & Lewis, we believe there are three crucial items of information to keep in mind when preparing for a personal injury case. Following these simple steps can help you as you proceed with your case:

1. It's good to know what a case will cost you. Make sure to take all potential costs into consideration, but more importantly, keep in mind that a personal injury attorney’s fees don’t apply unless they have actually won your case. This is called contingency. Lewis & Lewis doesn't charge for services until we've won a case. That is, we don't get paid unless you get a settlement. There are no hidden fees; no surprises. We believe in sincerity and transparency, and we base all of our business around those two values.

2. Make sure to document everything. For example, if you've been in a car accident, save all documents. Keep a detailed record of things like the other driver's insurance information, how much time you may have missed from work due to the accident, any medical bills you've accrued because of the accident, notes regarding physical activities you are unable to perform, and any forms or documents you've been required to fill out. This information is important, and could play a vital role in your case. Don’t leave out any details, even if they seem small and insignificant.

3. Don't hire an attorney that you can't trust. Honesty and open communication with your attorney is important. Remember, your attorney will be with you every step of the way before, during, and after your case. It’s important to be able to build a trusting relationship with your attorney. We know you've been through a lot, and we want to make this process as painless as possible for you. That’s why Lewis & Lewis provides services from only the most trustworthy personal injury attorneys in New York.
