What Is Involved in a Free Case Evaluation?

A free, private case evaluation is an opportunity for an attorney to get to know more about the incident that harmed a prospective client–also, it’s an opportunity for the lawyer to explain the journey that could lie ahead.

The Shield Legal Network team offers free case evaluations because they are genuinely concerned about the well-being of those in their community.

They want to use their expertise and knowledge in order to help injured persons to seek just compensation from those who have wrongfully harmed them.

Additionally, an attorney can help a person to understand his or her legal rights.

While many prospective clients may have a vague idea of what their rights might be, a lawyer can explain them in a way that makes them easy to understand.

Some of the questions that might be covered include:

  • Time spent at Maclaren Hall
  • Specific incidences of abuse that occurred
  • Who was notified at the time of the abuse
  • The negative impact that the abuse had on the client

The attorney will ask a lot of questions and take time to clarify the answers, all in an effort to build the strongest case possible.

How to Prepare for a Free, Private Case Evaluation?

The lawyer is not the only one who should be asking questions during a case consultation–the prospective client should feel free to question the attorney about the process of filing a claim.

It is very important that the client tells the attorney the absolute truth when discussing the specific incidents–that way, there are no surprises for either party.

The attorney will consider the following with respect to compensation:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Past, present, and ongoing medical expenses
  • Psychological and psychiatric treatment
  • Other damages resulting from harm

After the free case evaluation, the client will have the opportunity to think about whether he or she wants to hire the attorney to represent them and pursue the claim together.

If the client decides to hire the attorney, then both parties will enter into an agreement.

From that point going forward, the attorney will keep the client abreast of the trial schedule and any critical dates that involve the client.

The Shield Legal Network team believes that childhood victims of sexual abuse–and the families that suffered as well–should be able to address Maclaren Hall Children’s Center and get the compensation and justice.

The California Assembly Bill 218 legislation opened a three-year window allowing sexual abuse victims of any age to file civil lawsuits no matter when the abuse occurred, or if their alleged abuser is alive or dead
