Frequently asked questions

How does an engagement begin?

We begin with a short description and a conflict-of-interest check. The task, scope, fees and engagement terms are agreed afterwards. Sending a form does not, by itself, create a lawyer-client relationship.

Can you give an exact timeline?

Once the matter has been reviewed, a preparation timeline may be estimated. A court or authority controls its own timetable, which cannot be guaranteed.

Does a signed receipt guarantee recovery?

No. Its wording and original, transfer of funds, due date, payments, correspondence and both parties’ evidence are assessed together.
