Free Consultation With a Bay Area Car Accident Lawyer
Most of the calls I get are from car accident victims — and most of them say the same thing: “I don’t even know if I have a case.” That is exactly what a free consultation with a Bay Area car accident lawyer is for. You don’t have to know whether you have a case. That’s what I’m here to figure out.
During a free consultation, I will walk through the basic facts with you: where the accident happened, what your injuries are, what treatment you’ve had so far, and what insurance coverage may apply. I will give you my honest read on whether you have a viable claim, what it may be worth, and what the next steps look like. If I think you should move forward without an attorney, I will tell you that too — and I will explain why.

Frequently Asked Questions About Free Consultations
Yes. There is no charge for the initial consultation, and there is no obligation to hire me. I work on a pure contingency fee basis — you pay nothing upfront, and you only pay attorney fees if I recover compensation for you. If I don’t win your case, you owe me nothing.
Most consultations take 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case. I do not rush. The goal is for you to leave the call understanding your legal options clearly — even if those options don’t include hiring me.
You will speak with me directly. I do not use intake screeners or paralegals to triage potential clients. When you call (415) 851-4557 or fill out the contact form, I am the one who calls you back.
Nothing is required. If you have them handy, photos of the accident scene, the police report, the names of any insurance companies involved, and a list of doctors you’ve seen are helpful — but if you don’t, we can still talk. The consultation is about understanding what happened, not paperwork.
Yes. I am fully bilingual and conduct consultations directly in Spanish — no interpreter, no extra cost. Visit my Spanish consultation page at consulta gratuita for more information.
