Meeting with a personal injury attorney for the first time can be intimidating and a little nerve-wracking, especially if you haven’t really talked to an attorney or been involved with a legal matter before now. You should keep in mind, however, that the role of an attorney is to help you with your legal needs and represent your interests. Therefore, you should simply talk to the attorney and see what he or she has to offer you.
There are two main purposes of an initial consultation or meeting with an attorney about your potential personal injury claim. First, it is your opportunity to talk with the attorney and determine if you are comfortable with him or her representing your interests in your personal injury claim. Ultimately, it is your decision whether to hire an attorney and which attorney to hire for any personal injury case that you may have. Second, a consultation is a chance for the personal injury lawyer to get information about your case, assess the likelihood of success on your claim, and decide whether to take on your case. In essence, an initial consultation is for you and the attorney to interview one another.
Even if you decide not to hire this personal injury attorney, or the attorney does not take your case, there is no danger of the attorney telling anyone about your consultation. An attorney is not allowed to discuss your case with anyone. As a result, you should be sure to tell the attorney every detail about the accident that led to your injuries. An attorney cannot properly assess your case without knowing the details and circumstances surrounding your case.
When you or a family member suffers serious injuries from a slip and fall or any other type of accident, and another’s negligence caused the accident, you may have a personal injury claim under Wisconsin law. Meeting with a personal injury lawyer is the first step toward getting the compensation that you deserve for the injuries that you have suffered.

We live in Friendship, Wisconsin, and Boller & Vaughan came to our doorstep to discuss our mother’s wrongful death claim on a Saturday morning. Not only were we pleased with the large recovery, we were so thankful to have lawyers who were willing to explain to us every twist and turn along the way. It is great to know there is a law firm that will fight for the rights of elderly people all over Wisconsin.
Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan were incredible in working on my case and my daughter’s case. I was out of work and in the hospital with a new baby. Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan protected our rights and it was a pleasure to work with them. I hope never to be in another motor vehicle accident, however, if I am and I am injured, I will contact Boller & Vaughan immediately.
I was referred to Michelle through a friend. I have never had a better experience. It took a little over a year to get my settlement but the staff there stayed in constant contact and kept me in the loop. Oh, and Michelle actually got me MORE money than we discussed. I will refer anyone to this firm. Words cannot do justice the thanks that I have for Michelle and her staff (Mary especially) thank you guys so much!
After my husband died as a result of a motor vehicle accident, Boller & Vaughan spent countless hours talking with me, meeting with me in person, and making sure that I was okay. The drunk driver who hit us did not have any insurance, and we had to make a claim through our own insurance. Boller & Vaughan was fantastic at explaining the law to me and the handling of our claims.
After my son was injured in a daycare setting, Ms. Vaughan took the time to thoroughly investigate our case and my son’s injuries. Michele was approachable and had answers to our questions. Talking with her helped to relieve many of our anxieties.
