Maui Law Firm

The important questions to ask before hiring a law firm in Maui

Accidents can result in physical injury, disabilities, or even death, and when this is due to negligence or carelessness—it is time to hire a Maui law firm that knows the law in Maui.  The party who caused your accident should be held responsible.

The attorneys at The Law Offices of Tateishi & Pascual want to advise you on finding the right firm.  Here is a helpful list of general questions that includes:

• What are your areas of specialization?
• Have you handled cases like mine before?
• What was the outcome?
• Will you be the only attorney who works on the case? If not, who else will work on it?
• Do you keep current on changes in Maui laws?
• How long will it take for this case to be resolved?
• Will you take my case on a contingency fee basis?
• Are there things I should do to improve my case, or to help you?
• How will you keep me informed about the progress of my case?
• If I contact your law office in Maui with questions, how long will you take to return my call?
• If you are unavailable, whom can I speak to about my case?
• If I am not happy with a settlement offer and you want to settle, will you go to court anyway?
• If I am happy with the offer but you think we can win more at trial, will you follow my wishes?
• Have you ever been disciplined by an ethics committee, or been suspended from the practice of law?  If so, why?

Questions that may be more specific to your case include:

• Who will pay my medical bills?  Drug bills?  Lost income?  Property damage?  Pain and suffering?
• What forms and papers do I need to get and fill out?
• What claim letters need to be sent?
• How many insurance companies need to be notified?
• Do you handle those matters for me?
