Unfortunately, sometimes lawyers must turn down cases. In order for a lawyer to accept a case, he or she must consider many factors, including the severity of your injuries, which parties were at fault, conflicts of interests, legal limitations, time constraints and more.

At our firm, turning down cases is one of the least favorite parts of our work. When we have to tell clients that we cannot take their cases, we do our best to refer them to a local bar association or another lawyer who may be able to help them. We also try to provide them with educational materials, like this book, to help them better understand the system and where their cases may fit into it.
