California case-review questions
Common questions
Is CA Legal Help a law firm or a legal-aid office?
No. This is a legal advertising website, not a law firm or government legal-aid office. Participating firms are paid advertisers. We do not give legal advice, evaluate attorneys or guarantee that a firm will accept your matter.
Can I request help for something other than an injury?
Yes. California has pages for eleven practice-area groups. Use the practice-area links below to find the closest match; selecting a category does not mean a firm has accepted your matter.
What does a free case review include?
There is no charge to submit a request. A participating firm may review your situation and contact you. Free review does not mean free ongoing representation; the firm explains any fees and decides whether it can assist.
What if my California city is not listed?
The city links are starting points, not a list of local offices. You can enter the actual incident location in the state form. Availability depends on the case type and participating firms; submitting does not guarantee a match.
Does sending this form file a claim or protect a deadline?
No. This form does not file a lawsuit, insurance claim, workers’ compensation claim or appeal, and does not extend a deadline. Use the appropriate official process and ask a qualified attorney about your specific deadline.
What should I include in my request?
Include the incident location, approximate date, a short account of what happened and a reliable way to contact you. Mention any written denial or court notice. Do not include Social Security numbers, bank details or full medical records in this form.
