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

  • My wife and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for a fantastic job as our attorney. We could not have been more pleased with the work you and your team has done on this case. This past four years or so has been such a roller coaster for our family. We are very pleased and grateful with the result. We have made a good choice by choosing you. Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.

  • 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.

  • 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.
