Each lawsuit is potentially dangerous, and it is necessary to know what possible negative consequences may ensue. We try to explain all the probable consequences to you in order to help you make the proper choice based on the company’s objectives and your preferences. Here are the primary risks we consider when evaluating your case:
1. Time and Cost
Of course, legal proceedings, especially if your case was sent to trial, can last for quite a long time. It may even take half a year to several years before a case is resolved depending on the situation presented in court. This timeline may be extended by such factors as delay in court calenders, discovery and/or negotiations. In addition, it is found that litigation can be expensive. As much as we focus on reducing costs to provide reasonable charges, legal charges, and other expenses, may sometimes go high particularly in long-weighted cases. The possible expenses are delineated at the beginning, and we make certain that you comprehend the monetary obligation anticipated of you and what’s coming down the pike.
2. Emotional and Mental Stress
Legal proceedings can be very tiring, and when the case is one’s own such as sexual harassment or dismissal from work. In this case, testifying, handling the possibility of an unfavorable verdict and handling a trial, being in the public eye, can cause stress and anxiety. We fully realize that these cases are not only about money , but also about how much pain they cause. During the course of the process our attorneys are by your side to help and to make you as ready as can be for what lies ahead.
3. No Guaranteed Outcome
I must however be clear that none legal case ever provides an assurance of success. Of course, there is no guarantee of success even where the case is good and all the preparation has been well done. You may not get a verdict you want, either through a jury or a judge, which is why we make sure to manage your expectations. We will be very honest with you about the chances of this case being successful and if we seem to disagree with this, we shall tell you at an early date and recommend to you other means of resolving the complaint such as through mediation or taking the case to the appropriate government agency/complaint.
