  • No fee unless we recover

    We work on contingency. No retainer, no hourly billing, and costs are disclosed in writing before we begin.

  • Treatment comes first

    We arrange care with physicians and specialists, often with nothing out of pocket, so your recovery and your records do not wait on an adjuster.

  • Resources that match the insurer's

    Accident reconstruction, medical experts and a litigation-ready file from the start, so every demand carries weight.

  • An attorney who knows your case

    Your calls and messages are answered by the people working your file, and an attorney directs every decision.

What happens after you call

  1. 1

    A free review and a direct answer

    An attorney tells you whether you have a case, what it may be worth, and what happens next. Someone is available 24 hours a day.

  2. 2

    Treatment and evidence

    We arrange medical care, preserve evidence before it disappears, and take every call from the adjuster so you never give a recorded statement.

  3. 3

    The full claim

    Medical bills, lost income, future care and the human cost, documented by specialists the insurer cannot dismiss.

  4. 4

    Negotiation, and litigation when needed

    Demand, negotiation, mediation and, when the carrier will not be fair, a lawsuit. Every case is prepared for trial from the start.

Common questions

How much does it cost to hire Wise Law?
Nothing up front. We work on contingency, which means our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you, and there is no fee if we don't recover. Case costs and how they're handled are explained in writing in your fee agreement before we start.
How much is my case worth?
It depends on your medical treatment, lost income, future care, how the injury affects your life, and how much insurance coverage exists. No attorney can responsibly promise a number on the first call. What we can do is review your facts, free, and tell you what similar cases have looked like and what would need to be true for yours to be worth more.
The insurance company already made an offer. Is it too late?
Not if you haven't signed a release. First offers arrive quickly because insurers know the value of a claim usually goes up once the injuries are documented. Don't sign anything and don't give a recorded statement. Send us the offer and we'll tell you whether it's fair.
How long do I have to file?
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. If a city, county, or other government entity is involved, a claim usually has to be presented within six months. There are exceptions in both directions, so the safest move is to call early, even if you're not sure you want to hire anyone.
Do I have to talk to the other driver's insurance company?
No. You are not required to give the other side's insurer a recorded statement, and it rarely helps you. Once we're involved, every call goes through us.
I don't have health insurance. Can I still get treated?
In most cases, yes. We work with doctors and specialists who treat injury clients on a lien, meaning they're paid from the recovery at the end rather than by you now. Getting treated promptly is better for your health and for your case.
Does my immigration status matter?
No. California law lets anyone injured by someone else's negligence bring a claim, regardless of immigration status, and your status is not admissible on the question of damages. We do not ask about it, and the insurance company has no business asking either.
