For injured people and families

Start a Confidential Injury Case Review

If you were seriously injured, or you are seeking help after a family member’s death, tell our office what happened in your own words. The initial review is free and carries no obligation.

Attorney referral or trial-association inquiry

Submitting an inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship or protect a deadline.

A short first step

Tell Us the Basics

Use the form to share your contact information and a brief account of what happened. You do not need to send records or sensitive documents with an initial inquiry.

Share what happened

Provide basic contact and case-screening information in the form below, or call the office.

Our office reviews it

The office considers the inquiry, conflicts, and whether the firm can assist. An inquiry does not promise acceptance or a response within a particular time.

The agreed work is in writing

Submitting an inquiry alone does not create an attorney-client relationship. If an engagement is accepted, a written agreement defines the work and terms.

Please Read Before Submitting

Send only basic contact and case-screening information. Do not include medical records, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive documents unless the office later requests them and provides transfer instructions.

  • Submitting the form alone does not create an attorney-client relationship. If an engagement is accepted, a written agreement defines the work and terms.
  • Prospective-client information is handled under applicable professional confidentiality duties. Service providers process website communications as described in our Privacy Policy.
  • You request a response about your inquiry by phone or email. Providing a phone number does not by itself consent to text messages.
  • An inquiry does not protect a legal deadline. If a deadline may be near, call the office and do not rely on an unanswered inquiry to protect your rights.

Share basic contact details and a brief description, without medical records or Social Security numbers. An inquiry alone does not create an attorney-client relationship. If a deadline may be near, call the office and do not rely on an unanswered inquiry. Privacy Policy.

For attorneys

Start a Referral or Trial-Association Review

Start with a conflict, urgency, and role check. Call (559) 439-7500 or use the contact form above.

  1. Identify counsel and the parties. Give your contact information, firm, and represented and opposing parties for the conflict check.
  2. Describe the requested role. Full referral, co-counsel, or trial assistance? Briefly describe the matter and its stage without sensitive details.
  3. Flag urgency. State any known urgent date and its source. Unknown dates or details are acceptable for first contact.

If a deadline is approaching, call. An inquiry does not transfer representation or deadline responsibility; counsel of record remains responsible until an effective change.

Hold medical records, Social Security numbers, and detailed confidential material for later. After screening, we can arrange an appropriate transfer method.

What may be useful after the initial screen?

Depending on the matter: operative pleadings and orders, the calendar with source documents, a short liability and damages summary, known coverage or collectability information, discovery and expert status, and the work counsel proposes to retain or transfer. Unknown information is not an automatic rejection. Please wait for specific instructions before transmitting sensitive records.

Separate limited programs

Looking for Pro Bono Help?

These programs have their own scope and criteria. An inquiry does not reserve a date or create an attorney-client relationship.
