Free Case Evaluation
What to Expect at Your Free Consultation
We’ll sit down together, and you’ll share your story. Your Black & Jones attorney will want to hear the details of your injuries, illness or condition—and how those details are affecting your life, as well as that of your family. We’ll take it from there! Your information is fully confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege during your free consultation, always ensuring your privacy.
Your Story Is Safe with Black & Jones
We need to know as many details as possible to help you with your case, but it’s also important for you to know that anything you say to your attorney is privileged. This means that your attorney can only share information with others that you want them to share.
If you’re wondering why the attorney needs to know certain information, let us know, and we’ll explain why the answer is important to your case. Learn more about what you’ll need for a Workers’ Compensation or Social Security Disability case.
