More About The Process

If your case is meritorious and you select us to represent you we then evaluate whether your claim should be brought in the district where the injury occurred or in the district where the service member maintains his/her home of record. This is a pivotally important legal decision that is unique to the FTCA.
In many cases we retain local counsel on your behalf, but there is never any additional fee to you. Local counsel will either be integral members of your trial team, or, they will simply file a Pro Hac Vice motion to allow us to represent you in the appropriate federal district court.
