SCUTT LAW PLLC

Scutt Law, PLLC is here to assist you with your legal needs. The first step in that process is scheduling a complimentary consultation to evaluate your potential matter with our office. Fortunately, technology has made it easier for our office and potential clients to communicate. While we always prefer to meet with a potential client in person, that may not be feasible due to potential client schedule conflicts or geographical constraints (the firm handles cases for clients in Texas and beyond). Generally, here is what to expect during the case consultation: Getting Your Contact Information and Gathering Facts

Ways that we can communicate with you:

• Scheduled In-Person Meeting (we can travel to meet you!)
• Facetime
• Skype
• Phone
• Email
• Web (24/7 via our web contact page)

First, when we meet, we will want to gather all of your contact information.

• Name:
• Phone
• Work Phone
• Alternative Phone
• Alternative Phone (Family or Friend)
• Physical Address
• Email Address

Second, we will have a series of questions to ask you about your potential matter. After this series of questions where we gather information, we will be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have. If you are coming to us for assistance with business formation or a business transaction, we will want to get general information to understand your goals. If you believe that you have suffered some type of harm due to the conduct of another, then we will want to get the facts of your potential case and evaluate those facts to see if you may have a legal cause of action. Some of the quick facts that we may gather include the following:

• The Date and Time that the Incident Occurred:
• Who do you blame–the name of the Adverse Party or Business Entity (the party that caused the harm or injury)
• What did they do wrong?
• What are your damages (personal injuries, monetary harm, damaged property, harm to your reputation)

Armed with this information on qualified cases, our office can then let you know how we can assist you. However, there may be times that it does not make sense to assist on a matter and this may be a mutual issue where it does not make sense for you as well. After we discuss the potential case, you may decide not to pursue a legal remedy. Regardless, we always want you to understand the reasons from a legal perspective. We want to be a legal resource for you and we want to make sure that you are headed in the right direction. That may also be directing you to the lawyer referral service for your area.

Similar to medical professionals, there may be legal specialists that are better equipped to handle your potential case. As you know, different medical professionals handle different types of conditions and based on training and experience an Ophthalmologist does not perform heart surgery. For example, if you are inquiring about being terminated from your job due to discrimination, then we would want to direct you to an Employment or Labor Lawyer to assist you on your matter as this is an area of practice that Scutt Law, PLLC does not currently handle.

Scutt Law, PLLC wants to assist you with your legal needs and we will take the time to fully evaluate your matter and discuss your options with you. We look forward to meeting with you in whatever manner that you choose! We want to be a legal resource for you, your family and friends.
