How do I retain Greenspon, Brown and Associates to assist me with my legal problem? > FAQs: Criminal Charges	1. Do I need a lawyer to assist me with my legal problem? If you have been injured, or feel that your rights have been violated, or if you are involved in a dispute with an individual, insurance company or institution, we encourage you to seek the advice of a lawyer as soon as possible. Many legal actions have strict timelines. If those timelines are missed, you may no longer have the ability to pursue or defend your case. Also, having a lawyer involved from the beginning of your dispute will ensure that your rights are protected from start to finish. 2. How do I know if Greenspon, Brown and Associates can assist me with my legal problem? We have experience in representing plaintiffs and defendants in a broad range of civil disputes. If you are considering retaining a lawyer in regard to a civil dispute, we encourage you to contact our office either by telephone or e-mail. Please be sure to have available the key facts about your case: the parties involved, the relevant dates, and any other information you think may be useful to us. Many people find it easier to outline the facts of their case in an e-mail message. Be assured every e-mail message we receive from a prospective client will be treated confidentially and will be reviewed by one of our lawyers. Once we have had the opportunity to review the basic facts of your case, we will contact you. If it is something we can help you with, we will arrange a meeting to discuss your case, the legal process, the prospects of success, and the retainer. If it is not something we can help you with, we will do our best to provide you with an appropriate referral. 3. How do I retain Greenspon, Brown and Associates to assist me with my legal problem? At Greenspon, Brown and Associates, we understand that not every client has the resources to provide the retainer required to hire a lawyer on an hourly rate. We are willing to sit down and determine a workable arrangement as to our legal fees, including, in some cases, contingency fee arrangements.
