• How do I get started with L&F Brown?
  • Do you offer payment plans?
    For certain flat-fee or hourly matters, yes. We understand legal services are a significant investment, and we’ll work with you to find a payment structure that fits your situation.
  • What kinds of cases does L&F Brown handle?
    We focus on a select range of practice areas to deliver the highest level of service: personal injury, employment law, estate planning, and business law. Whether you're dealing with a workplace dispute, planning for the future, recovering from an accident, or facing a business challenge, we’re here to help.
  • How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?
    It depends on your type of case. For personal injury and other litigation matters, we work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you don’t pay unless we win. For other services, such as estate planning or business advising, we offer flat-rate or hourly billing depending on your needs. Either way, you’ll always know the costs up front, with no surprises.
  • What should I expect during the first consultation?
    Your initial consultation is confidential and free. We'll listen to your situation, help you understand your options, and let you know how we can help — no pressure, no obligation.
  • Do I really need a lawyer for this?
    If your rights, freedom, finances, or reputation are at risk, having a lawyer on your side can make a significant difference. We offer honest guidance — if we don’t think you need legal representation, we’ll tell you.
  • What’s the difference between a contingency fee and hourly billing?
    A contingency fee means we only get paid if we win your case — typically used in personal injury and some employment matters. Hourly billing or flat fees are used for things like estate planning or business services, where we charge for our time or provide a set price.
  • Can you take my case if I’m in a different city or state?
    In many cases, yes. We handle matters throughout California and work with clients remotely when needed. If your issue is outside our jurisdiction, we can often refer you to a trusted attorney in your area.
  • What if the other side already has a lawyer?
    That’s even more reason to get legal representation of your own. We’ll level the playing field, advocate for your rights, and ensure you’re not taken advantage of.
  • How do I know if I have a strong case?
    We’ll help you figure that out during your free consultation. We’ll review the facts, explain your legal options, and give you an honest opinion about whether pursuing the case makes sense.
  • Do you handle urgent legal matters?
    Yes. If you're facing a time-sensitive situation, such as a court deadline or an urgent injury claim, contact us right away. We’ll let you know if we can step in quickly and help.
  • Will you keep me updated about my case?
    Absolutely. We believe in clear communication. You’ll always know where your case stands, and we’re here to answer questions along the way.
  • What if I’ve already spoken to another attorney?
    No problem. You’re allowed to seek a second opinion — and sometimes it helps to hear another perspective. We’ll review what’s been done so far and let you know how we’d approach it.
  • Can you help me understand legal documents I received?
    Yes. Bring in or send over anything you’ve been served or asked to sign. We’ll explain what it means and what your next steps should be.
  • What if the other side already has a lawyer?
  • Are you available outside regular business hours?
    We do our best to be flexible. Evening or weekend consultations are available by request, especially for clients with busy schedules or urgent needs.
  • Can I bring someone with me to the consultation?
    Yes. Whether it's a family member, friend, or business partner, you're welcome to bring someone you trust for support or perspective.
  • Do I need to bring anything to my first meeting?
    If you have documents related to your case — contracts, court papers, letters, etc. — bring them along. But if you’re not sure, don’t worry. We’ll guide you.
  • Can I contact you with questions after the consultation?
    Yes. Even if you’re still deciding how to move forward, we’re here to help. Reach out anytime — we want you to feel fully informed.
  • What happens if I don’t win my case?
    For contingency cases, you don’t owe us any legal fees if we don’t recover for you. For other matters, we’ll be transparent about risks and outcomes from the start.
  • What makes L&F Brown different from other law firms?
    We combine deep legal experience with personal attention. You're not just another case number — we take the time to understand your goals and fight for what matters to you.
  • Do you represent individuals or businesses?
    Both. We help individuals with injuries, employment issues, and estate planning — and we advise small businesses on contracts, disputes, and long-term planning.
  • What if I’m not sure which area of law my issue falls under?
    That’s okay — we’ll help you figure it out. Start with a consultation and we’ll point you in the right direction, whether it’s with us or another trusted professional.
  • Are you accepting new clients?
    Yes. We’re currently accepting new clients and would be happy to discuss your case. Contact us today to get started.
  • How long will my case take?
    Every case is different. Some can be resolved quickly, while others may take months or longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline based on the facts of your case and keep you informed throughout the process.
  • Can I switch to your firm if I already have a lawyer?
    Yes — in many situations, you can change representation. We can review your case, explain your rights, and make the transition as smooth as possible if you choose to work with us.
  • What if I can’t come to your office?
    No problem. We offer phone, video, and off-site consultations when needed. Whether you're recovering from an injury, incarcerated, or simply too far away, we’ll work around your situation.
  • Is everything I tell you confidential?
    Yes. Anything you share with us is protected by attorney-client privilege and stays completely confidential — even if you decide not to move forward with our firm.
