Will I have to go to court?

Many clients spend at least one day in court, but few clients actually testify. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to settle your case without a court appearance. For example, if you have a scar, the insurance company or the court will want to see you in person to evaluate it. Also, all cases involving children under the age of 18 must have approval from the court to confirm any proposed settlement. There are presently arbitration programs to mediate disputes shortly after complaints are filed and those procedures require a court appearance. Don’t be afraid to go to court. The judicial system is there to protect you and your attorney will help you feel comfortable.
