Intake and conflicts screen
The firm collects basic contact and matter information without requesting privileged or highly sensitive details.
Case review process
A clear case-review path from first facts to the next move.
The review is built to answer the question that matters: is this a serious California matter the firm can evaluate, refer, co-counsel, or decline quickly and responsibly?
Berhe Jones is a DBA of The Berhe Law Firm. Initial case review is free. If the firm accepts a matter, fees, costs, and scope are governed by a written agreement.
The review process in plain English
This overview is designed to reduce false expectations while explaining the intake flow before anyone relies on it for deadlines or legal advice.
Fit, evidence, and deadline review
The inquiry is reviewed for parties, evidence, documents, deadlines, damages, coverage, and practice fit.
Next-step decision
Depending on conflicts and fit, the firm may offer representation, consider co-counsel or referral, ask for more information through an approved process, or decline.
Deadlines vary and urgent matters should not wait
Deadlines vary by matter. Some claims require quick action, especially matters involving public entities, employment agencies, evidence preservation, insurance notices, or government defendants.
If a deadline may be approaching, call instead of waiting to submit a long message. Do not send privileged, highly sensitive, or urgent information through a public form.
