What will it cost to find out if I have a legal case?
We do not charge you for an initial consultation to determine if you might have a legitimate case. After that, the fees charged depend on the type of case and the fee agreement reached between you and us. The fee agreement will be in writing.

When should I hire an attorney?

The law requires that you file a legal claim within a specified period of time depending on the nature of the claim and the entity that caused the injury. This is called a statute of limitations. Usually, the period of limitations runs from the time the injury occurred except when special rules apply. Discuss your case with Wimer Law Offices as soon as you suspect you might have been injured by any negligent act so that we can determine which statute of limitations applies and so that you can take all necessary actions to protect your right to make a claim.

Do I have to come in to the office to talk with you?
Many of the initial consultations can take place over the telephone. If a face-to-face meeting is preferred, our office located in the Pittsburgh suburb of Oakmont provides a convenient meeting place. You do not have to travel to downtown Pittsburgh so you save the travel time and parking expenses. Once we take your case, we will meet with you during the litigation at either our office or at another place that is convenient for you.

Meetings during the evenings or weekends can be arranged by request and in advance. The office does not have regular evening or weekend hours.

If my case goes to trial, will I have to be there?
Yes, if your case goes to trial, you will be required to be present in the courtroom for the trial.
