Law Offices of Teresa Li, PC

Contingency: we are paid a percentage of what we recover for you. The fee ranges from 33 1/3 percent to 40 percent, depending on the type and complexity of the case, whether a lawsuit has to be filed, and when and if your case goes to trial. We will front all litigation costs. You are not responsible for the litigation costs or our fees until and unless you are paid.

A typical process starts with an initial phone consultation. It follows by an in-person interview, if needed. If both sides agree that our firm should represent you, a contract will be signed. We will then gather evidence and fight for your case until you are satisfied with the result.

I used to work on the other side, hired by insurance companies to defend big corporations in multi-million dollar personal injury cases. I won every trial and decided to switch side to use my skills to fight for the little guy. So I started my own firm and never look back.

People who have suffered catastrophic injuries. I have represented immigrants who cannot speak English, people who are homeless, special needs children, students, union workers, nurses, engineers, architects, doctors, small business owners, real estate agents, and elderly retirees.
