Frequently asked questions
Is a free consultation really free?
Yes. There is no charge for the first conversation and no obligation to hire the firm afterward.
Will I have to go to court?
Most injury claims settle without a trial. Workers' compensation matters are heard before a judge of compensation, but most appearances are brief and many are handled by your attorney.
How often will I hear from you?
When something happens, and whenever you call. Calls are returned the same business day.
Tell us what happened. We'll tell you what we would do.
A real conversation, not a call center. If we are not the right firm for your case, we will say so.
Or email info@starkmanfirm.com. Contacting the firm does not create an attorney–client relationship, and information sent before we agree to represent you is not confidential.
