What is the free consultation process?
If you send a message, you will get an email or call back as soon as possible.
If you call, a receptionist will answer. They will ask a couple of basic questions— name, contact info, where the crash happened.
Then, they will check to see who is available on the legal staff.
We will talk a bit about what happened, and answer any questions you have, or what other information we might need.
If we can help you, we’ll send over a new client packet. If we are not the right lawyers for you, we will do our best to get you to another lawyer or other resources.
Note that we cannot give you specific legal advice! Lawyers are only allowed to give advice to clients — and that is for your own protection.
Will you be the actual attorney handling my case?
Yes.
What will I have to do?
First and foremost, take care of yourself, your health and your family, and follow the recommendations of medical providers.
Please return our calls and emails promptly; we will do the same for you.
We will gather a lot of information from you initially; later, you may need to answer additional questions (interrogatories) or provide additional documents. Eventually, you may need to give a recorded statement under oath (deposition) or participate in mediation.
How often will I be updated on the status of my case?
It depends on what is happening in your case. We check in with clients often, and notify you of developments, but we encourage you to get in touch if you have questions.
Can I talk to my lawyer when I have questions?
Yes. Call or email Kevin Coluccio, and he will respond as soon as possible.
Be aware that if he is in court, or taking a deposition, he may not return your call promptly, and it may be better to get in touch with his paralegal, Wanda.
How long will my case take?
It depends on a lot of factors: severity of injuries and future medical treatment, access to insurance policies, and other complications. Some cases can be concluded quickly, but others take several years.
What do I have to sign?
To work with Coluccio Law, clients will need to sign a few basic documents.
- A Contingency Fee Agreement that goes over when and how we will be reimbursed for our expenses and paid for our work.
- A Release of Information that allows us to collect records on your behalf.
- A HIPAA release so that we can collect medical records.
Do you have the time necessary to actually work on my case now?
If we don’t have the time to fully work up your case the way it deserves, then we won’t take your case.
We are committed to providing each of our clients with the time and resources to successfully handle their case.
