Frequently Asked Questions

What will my legal fees cost and what does contingency mean?

Contingency means that something depends on something else in order to occur. Regarding legal fees, it means that you will not have to pay any legal fees or costs up front. At the Law Office of Craig Leydecker, our legal fees are paid as a set percentage of whatever award you receive. That means if you do not recover any money, neither do we.

What should I bring when I come in for my FREE consultation?

You should bring any relevant documents that you have in your possession. In a motor vehicle accident case, this includes the police report or item number, your vehicle insurance card, health insurance card, driver’s license, any notes you have regarding the other driver’s insurance information, and any photographs you may have taken at the scene of the accident. For any personal injury case where you are dealing with pain or are missing work due to an injury, bring any documents from your employer and any medical bills you have incurred.
