Question 1

When should I call a lawyer?

Accepted Answer

As soon as possible after an injury or arrest. Early steps can shape your entire case. Speaking with an attorney before giving statements to insurance adjusters or investigators helps protect your rights from the start. Statutes of limitations apply to civil claims, so timing matters.

Question 2

Should I talk to the insurance adjuster before calling a lawyer?

Accepted Answer

Insurance adjusters work for the company, not for you. A recorded statement given too early can be used to limit what you recover. We recommend speaking with a lawyer first so you understand your rights before providing any statement.

Question 3

How do personal injury fees work?

Accepted Answer

The majority of our personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis. That means the fee is tied to the outcome: if there is no recovery, there is no fee out of pocket. Every case is different, and no result is guaranteed. Call to discuss the specifics of your situation.

Question 4

What courts does your criminal defense practice cover?

Accepted Answer

We represent clients in Mobile Municipal Court, District Court, and Circuit Court. Each court level handles different types of offenses and has its own procedures. Charges may be filed or amended as a case develops, so having counsel early helps you respond to those changes.

Question 5

Where is your office located?

Accepted Answer

Our office is at 1555 Springhill Ave, Mobile, AL 36604. We serve clients throughout Mobile County and the surrounding Gulf Coast communities.

Question 6

Can we meet somewhere other than your office?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Evening and weekend appointments are available if necessary. We can meet at our Springhill Avenue office, your home, or another location that works for you. Reach out to schedule a time that fits your situation.

Question 7

How do I contact the firm?

Accepted Answer

Call (251) 433-0357, email EricKRoberts@ekrlaw.com, or send a message through our contact page. Your initial consultation is confidential and carries no obligation.

Question 8

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Accepted Answer

Bring any documents related to your matter, such as accident reports, medical records, contracts, or court paperwork, along with a list of questions. The more context we have, the better we can advise you. For your protection, do not include confidential details about your case in an online form.
