Urgency
Deadline pressure comes first
Some rights are lost by waiting, and some evidence disappears quickly. Government-claim windows, filing limits, hearings, denials, and preservation issues are flagged before the firm weighs case value.

The safe review path
What happens after you ask Berhe Jones LLP to review a serious matter.
Same screen for every intake. No obligation to retain.
The review is built to turn a confusing situation into a practical next step. It checks timing first, gathers only conflict-safe basics, tests the facts against a serious-case standard, and identifies whether the firm should accept, ask for records, refer, co-counsel, or decline.
Intake
The essentials are enough to start
Start with names, dates, parties, location, what happened, and the harm or loss. You do not need to send documents, account numbers, full records, or privileged detail through the public form.
Review
Proof, damages, and leverage review
The firm weighs liability proof, documented damages, available coverage, collectability, and practical leverage. Strong matters usually have proof that can be preserved and harm that can be documented.
Decision
A practical next-step decision
Attorney Tam Berhe decides whether the matter fits the firm, needs records first, belongs with co-counsel, should be referred, or is not viable for the practice. Any representation is set out in a signed written agreement before work begins.
No outcomes, ratings, or response-time promises are implied. If a deadline is close, call before relying on the form.
Start the review
Send the facts that help the firm spot deadlines, proof, damages, and leverage.
Use the form to send a short, factual summary. If a deadline, hearing, denial, or evidence issue is coming up, call instead of waiting on the form. Submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship.
1Send the essentials. Names, contact information, case type, date, responsible parties, and what harm or loss occurred.
2The firm screens for leverage. Review focuses on deadlines, liability proof, damages, coverage or recovery source, and whether attorney involvement can move the matter forward.
3The next move is identified. If appropriate, the firm may request documents, schedule a call, discuss representation, refer the matter, or explain why it is not a fit.
Deadline or evidence issue? If a government-claim deadline, filing deadline, hearing, denial letter, or evidence-preservation problem is coming up, call instead of waiting on the form.
Why some matters move forward faster
Strong first requests make responsibility, harm, deadlines, and recovery sources easier to see.
A persuasive inquiry does not need a full file dump. It needs the facts that show whether the matter can be proven, preserved, and pursued.
Clear responsibility
Who caused the harm, what rule was violated, and what evidence can show it.
Documented harm
Medical treatment, wage loss, photos, notices, records, or other proof that shows impact.
Urgent timing
Incident dates, claim deadlines, agency notices, and preservation needs that affect strategy.
Recovery source
Insurance, defendant solvency, statutory fees, or other paths that make action practical.
Not sure whether your facts are enough? Send the basics anyway. The review is designed to spot fit, gaps, deadlines, and the records that would make the matter stronger.

Berhe Jones LLP was founded on a single principle: serious cases deserve direct attorney judgment, not a volume system. High-value contingency work turns on early evidence, credible damages, leverage, and readiness to litigate when the other side refuses to value the claim fairly.
That posture applies across the firm's core practice areas: catastrophic injury, wrongful death, workplace claims, civil rights violations, consumer protection, insurance disputes, and other select civil matters where the stakes justify contingency counsel.
Contingency law requires selectivity: identifying the matters that warrant serious attorney investment, preparing them correctly, and applying pressure where it counts. Berhe Jones LLP case-evaluation standard
Many matters are handled on contingency, meaning attorney's fees are paid from a recovery. Some matters may require a different written fee arrangement depending on the claim, the forum, and the work required.

How it works
Three steps from first facts to leverage-building action.
The first question is not just whether something went wrong. It is whether responsibility, proof, damages, deadlines, and a recovery source justify a serious-case strategy.
01Screen
Screen the matter
A direct review of what happened, who is responsible, what can be proven, what deadline may apply, and whether the matter fits the firm's contingency focus.
02Build
We build leverage
If the matter fits, the firm identifies evidence early, preserves records, evaluates damages, and positions the file for negotiation, litigation, or co-counsel where appropriate.
03Act
We negotiate or litigate
The firm pursues a fair recovery through negotiation, and litigates when the defense position does not reflect the evidence and harm involved.
Free case review. Select contingency matters. No obligation to retain.
Our commitment
Selective because strong cases require focus.
High-value contingency work requires selectivity. Berhe Jones LLP is not trying to collect every inquiry. The firm looks for matters where focused attorney involvement, early evidence work, and practical leverage can make a real difference.
I.
Attorney-led strategy
Each accepted matter is evaluated by Attorney Tam Berhe for responsibility, proof, documented harm, deadlines, recovery source, and litigation posture.
II.
Contingency focus
Many accepted matters are handled on contingency when the facts, damages, and recovery source support it. Specific fees and costs are governed by a written agreement before representation begins.
III.
Co-counsel ready
When a matter needs additional resources, subject-matter depth, or a different forum, Berhe Jones LLP can evaluate co-counsel or referral options instead of forcing the wrong fit.
Frequently asked
Better questions before you call.
These answers help you send a stronger first request, avoid oversharing sensitive material, and know when a call is safer than a form.
How much does a case review cost?
Nothing. The initial review is free. Most accepted matters are handled on contingency, meaning attorney's fees are paid from a recovery if there is one.
How long do I have to act?
Deadlines vary by practice area. Some claims can require action in months, especially matters involving public entities, employment agencies, or government defendants. The safest move is to ask quickly and call if the timing is close.
What types of cases does Berhe Jones LLP review?
The firm reviews serious injury, wrongful death, employment, civil rights, consumer, insurance, and select civil litigation matters. If the case is outside the firm's focus, Berhe Jones LLP may suggest co-counsel or referral options.
Will my case go to trial?
Many cases resolve before trial, but leverage usually improves when a file is prepared as if litigation is possible. Trial posture depends on the facts, defendants, damages, and available evidence.
What does Berhe Jones LLP charge?
Most accepted matters are handled on contingency. Some matters may require a hybrid, hourly, statutory-fee, or referral arrangement. Specific terms are discussed in writing before representation begins.
What makes a case a strong contingency fit?
Strong contingency matters usually involve clear responsibility, documented harm, a defendant or insurance source that can support recovery, and evidence that can be developed into negotiation or litigation leverage.
What should I include in the first message?
Include the date, location, responsible person or company, injuries or losses, insurance or claim information if known, and any upcoming deadline. A short, clear summary is enough to start screening.
Can I send documents or photos?
Start with the form or a call. If documents, photos, notices, denial letters, or records are needed, the firm can request them after the first screen.
What if I am not sure whether my case fits?
Send the basics anyway. The review is designed to identify fit, gaps, deadlines, and whether representation, co-counsel, referral, or another route makes sense.
What if a deadline is close?
Call now. Deadlines vary, and some claims require fast action to preserve rights or evidence. The website is not a substitute for legal advice about a specific deadline.
Have a serious matter with a deadline, proof issue, or major harm?
Request a free review. Berhe Jones LLP will screen whether the matter has the timing, proof, damages, and recovery source needed for the firm's serious-case focus. No obligation to retain.
