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

  • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.

  • We want to send a big "Thank you" from the both of us. We know you both fought for us and did a great job with our case. You did it in a timely manner and we appreciate it.

    Kerrijo & Jerry

  • 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.

  • This letter is to thank Ms. Diane D’Andrea, assistant to Mr. George Gridelli, Attny for all the hard work, dedication, and attentiveness she showed during the representation of my case. She was always cheerful and ready to help in whatever way she could. All messages left for Mr. Gridelli were always relayed and Mr. Gridelli always promptly returned our calls. She was a very competent assistant. Cellino Law has proven to be a model of what legal representation should be. Throughout the 6 ½ years of this case, I have heard many horror stories from people with “bad lawyer stories.” We consider ourselves to be very lucky to have chosen Cellino Law and will always recommend you to those looking for good, honest representation with a personal touch.

  • This is to express our gratitude to you and your team in helping us and Stephanie navigate through the legal process following her car accident. We are very satisfied with the outcome and grateful for your hard work and attention to details. We fell confident that with this compensation, Stephanie will be able to move forward with her studies and her life with the ability to care for some of her health needs resulting from the injuries sustained following her car accident. Thank you very much and may God continue to bless your efforts.

    Jose & Rose

  • Cellino Law is an amazing firm with a great team. I worked with Greg Pajak and his assistant, Tracey Falconer. I cannot express enough how dedicated they are. The personal attention I received was excellent; they were always available to help with questions and concerns and put me at ease in the unknown territory I found myself in. I highly recommend them to anyone needing representation. A huge thank you to them for all they accomplished for me!
