Most civil matters settle. Cases are still prepared for trial, because that preparation is what produces a fair settlement.

It depends on the court and the complexity. The assessment gives a realistic range rather than a best case.

If a matter falls outside the practice areas listed, that is said in the first call along with a referral.

The attorney in the first conversation stays on the matter. Cases are not handed to junior staff after signing.

The contract or correspondence at the center of the dispute, and a short timeline of what happened.
