Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need an attorney?

Depending on your specific matter, you may be able to handle your case without representation in small claims court.

Reeves DiVenere Wright will be pleased to schedule a consultation for a reasonable fee to answer all of your questions.

Will the information I share with you be confidential?

What proof or evidence will my attorneys need to represent me?

During our first meeting, we will discuss the facts in your case and provide our initial impression regarding what is needed to prove your claim.
