Our Firm FAQs
Working with Salvi & Maher
We believe clients deserve to know what’s happening in their case — always. You won’t be left wondering. When there’s a development, you hear it from us. If there’s a question, you’ll get an answer. We give you updates as often as needed, and we’re always available to talk when you need us.
Client Rights and Responsibilities
Yes. If you’re not confident in your representation, you have every right to make a change. We’re confident enough in our work that we’re never afraid of that question. Clients stay with us because they see results, not because they’re locked in.
Initial Consultation Process
Call, email, or submit a request online. In person, over the phone, or by video. Whatever’s easiest for you.
Communication & Case Updates
You’ll hear from us when there’s movement, and even when there isn’t — because silence causes anxiety, and we don’t let clients operate in the dark. If something changes, you’re the first to know.
Fee Structure & Payment Options
Yes — 100%. We only get paid if you win. No retainers, no bills showing up in the mail. If we take your case, it’s because we believe in it — and we’re willing to shoulder the risk alongside you.
Our Legal Team
We’re not new to this. Our team brings decades of courtroom experience, hundreds of trials, and over half a billion dollars recovered for our clients. We’ve gone up against major insurance companies, corporations, and defense firms — and won. We don’t bluff, and we don’t fold.
The Legal Process Explained
Most cases settle, but we prepare every case like it’s going to trial. That’s why we get substantial settlements. The other side knows we’re ready to take it all the way, and that changes the conversation.
Personal Injury FAQs
Understanding Personal Injury Law
Negligence is when someone fails to act with reasonable care, and that failure causes harm. If that’s what happened to you, the law gives you the right to seek compensation.
Immediate Steps After an Injury
Critical. Photos, videos, names, statements — they all become evidence. The more you can document early, the stronger the foundation we have to work from.
Dealing with Insurance Companies
They look at liability, damages, and risk, and then try to pay you as little as possible. We flip that equation. We show them exactly why your claim is worth more — and why they’d rather settle than face us in court.
Compensation and Damages
Absolutely. If your injury affected your income or will require long-term care, we factor that into your demand. This isn’t just about what’s happened — it’s about what’s ahead.
