Frequently asked questions
These answers are general information, not legal advice. Every situation is different, so talk with an attorney about yours.
Will my case go to trial?
Not necessarily. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. We will discuss whether settlement or trial makes the most sense for your situation.
Do you handle cases in federal court?
Yes. Our attorneys handle cases in both state and federal courts, including appeals to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
What should I do if I have been sued?
Contact an attorney right away. A lawsuit comes with deadlines to respond, and missing them can limit your options.
Did you receive a demand letter, lawsuit, or court notice?
