What to Expect from a Free Consultation with Cellino Law
Calendar icon May 2, 2025 | Reading Time: 4 min

If you were hurt in an accident, you may be feeling overwhelmed. Medical bills, time off work, and the stress of figuring out what to do next can pile up quickly. You might not know if you even have a case, let alone how to start one. That’s where we come in.

At Cellino Law, we offer free, no-risk consultations to help you understand your legal options after your accident. There’s no cost to speak with us and no obligation to move forward. To get started, you can fill out our online form or call us at 888-888-8888

We Listen First

We want to understand what happened, how you were injured, and how your life has been affected since your injury. It’s okay if you don’t have every detail or document when you first meet with a member of our legal team. We’re here to listen and help guide you through the process and the next steps. 

We understand that sharing what happened can be emotional and difficult. Our focus during the initial consultation and thereafter is supporting you, so you can focus on healing.

We Explain Your Rights

After we understand what happened to cause your injury and how it has affected your life, we’ll explain your legal rights. Many people don’t realize what they’re entitled to under the law. You may be able to recover money for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses. We’ll walk you through what that might look like for your specific situation.

This part of the consultation is all about providing you with clear, honest information. We’ll discuss your rights and answer any questions you may have.

We Go Over Your Legal Options

Every case is unique, so we’ll provide personalized advice tailored to your circumstances. This may include filing an insurance claim, starting a lawsuit, or simply waiting to gather more information before making a decision.

We’ll be upfront with you about your options and any challenges that may come up. Honesty is important to us, and we want you to feel confident in your next steps, whether or not you decide to move forward with an attorney. 

We Explain How Our Firm Works

If we believe we can help, we’ll explain the next steps and how we would move forward together. That includes:

  • How we communicate with clients
  • What we’ll need from you
  • What you can expect from us
  • When fees may apply

At Cellino Law, you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. That means no upfront costs, no hourly fees, and no surprises. We work on a contingency fee basis, so if we don’t recover compensation, you don’t owe us anything.

We Keep It Pressure-Free

This is your decision. During your consultation, we’ll never rush you or pressure you. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make the choice that’s right for you. A free consultation is meant to give you clarity and answers, not to lock you into anything. Some people feel ready to move forward after we speak, and others take time to think it over. 

How to Prepare for Your Consultation

You don’t need to have everything ready for your consultation. But if you’re able to gather a few items, it can help us understand what happened and how to best support you:

  • A brief timeline of what happened
  • Photos of the scene or your injuries
  • Medical records or bills 
  • Insurance information (yours and the other party’s, if you have it)
  • Names of witnesses or police officers involved

Don’t worry if you don’t have all of these. Bring what you can, and we’ll help with the rest.

Testimonials

  • I am writing to let you know what an outstanding job George Gridelli did for me in my personal injury lawsuit. His professionalism and expertise were evident at our first metting and he and his paralegal Diane D'Andrea took care of me as if I was a friend and not merely a client. They both went above and beyond for me in so many ways that it would be too numerous to list and I am grateful to have had such an exemplary team represent me. When working with George and watching him in court he personified to me what a lawyer is supposed to be - an honest, extremely compentent man who helped guide me through the legal system. I could not have obtained better representation anywhere else at any price. To me that says a lot abut you and your firm's integrity. Thank you again for representing me and for having such stellar individuals working for you! I will continue to recommend your firm.

    Carol

  • Thank you for all your help. It has been a long journey. At last, the light at the end of the tunnel. Also, thank Tom for the help and work he put in.

    Ron

  • I really just wanted to say thank you so much for taking my case, answering all my questions, and mostly for being very patient with me. I feel that without you and Roza I would not have been able to get anything at all. I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do I will definitely want you both working for me. Again thank your for you hard work, time and patience.

    Veola

  • Joe and I just wanted to send you this note thanking you for the professional way you handled our lawsuit. Your kindness was extremely appreciated in a very difficult time. When we found out the people that caused the accident had no insurance, we thought our chances of receiving any settlement was nonexistent. Once we met with you and released you were able to help us our minds were put at ease. Your aggressive manner of handling the case exceeded our expectations. Please feel free to use us as a reference. Thank you so much and best wishes,

    Danielle and Joe

  • Thank you for your efforts on my behalf. I am very pleased (and surprised) at the amount of the settlement. We will use the funds to help pay down the debt on the truck we had to purchase after ours was totaled. Thank you again.

    Linda

  • My experience during the time of negotiations was extremely positive. Josh Sandberg handled my lawsuit with the utmost integrity. He returned all my phone calls in a timely manner and answered all my questions. Josh made things less stressful. I would highly recommend Josh and the entire staff at Cellino Law.
