Most people don’t start with legal jargon. They start with a diagnosis and a nagging question: “Could my exposure have happened before I knew what to look for?” Your attorney’s first job is to organize that question into something that can be evaluated.
In a local consultation, we typically focus on:
- Your exposure timeline (when you used herbicides, worked around treated areas, or handled items with residue)
- How exposure likely happened in your day-to-day life (home yard maintenance, landscaping/grounds work, or maintenance near commercial properties)
- Your medical documentation (diagnosis, treatment history, pathology reports, and physician notes)
- What documentation you still have (labels, receipts, photos, employment records, and witness statements)
Because these cases often turn on proof rather than assumptions, getting organized early can be one of the most important steps you take.
