The practice areas page also names medical malpractice, birth injuries, maritime law, and defective products and recalls. The practice areas page states that the firm helps "only injured victims" and that its "free, no obligation consultations allow accident victims to explore their options". It invites people who have been injured in any of the listed areas to contact the firm. The site does not publish a price list, hourly rates or a fee percentage for any of these services, and it publishes no assessment of any individual claim.

Names Washington and Seattle as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published. ## Prices Bernard Law Group publishes a contingency fee arrangement rather than prices or rates. The contact page states: "The Bernard Law Group is a law firm that will accept all cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not pay our firm and our attorneys any fee up front for our counsel. You pay us only if we are successful in the handling of your case. Then, costs will be the client's responsibility and will be billed at the end of the case." The Washington car accident page describes the same arrangement: "You pay nothing upfront and owe zero attorney's fees unless we successfully win your case. Our recovery fee is strictly a percentage of the final financial settlement or jury award". Its FAQ adds: "Bernard Law Group works on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront costs, hourly rates, or retainer fees. Our fee is a percentage of the final settlement or jury verdict we win for you. If we do not recover money for your claim, you owe us nothing." The firm's No Win, No Fee Promise page repeats that there are no upfront costs and that the initial consultation is free. What the site does not publish: the size of the contingency percentage, any hourly rate, any retainer amount, any cost estimate, and any quote or valuation for an individual case. Anyone asking about price, pricing, cost or fees needs those figures from the firm itself. "Remember, we are not your lawyers until there is a contingent fee agreement signed by both you and a lawyer from our office." The site's disclaimer adds that reviewing or interacting with its content "does not establish an attorney-client relationship".

We will call you back right away." The form carries an optional checkbox to opt in to SMS messages from Bernard Law, PLLC, noting that a person may reply STOP to opt out, that message and data rates may apply, and that message frequency varies. There is no online self-service booking calendar on the site; the published way to book or schedule a free consultation is the phone number or the contact form. The Washington car accident page sets out four stages the firm describes for a claim. First, a free consultation and case evaluation, in which the firm reviews the facts of the crash, the injuries and the available insurance coverage. Second, investigation and evidence gathering, covering the official crash report, medical charts, scene photos, witness statements and vehicle data. Third, demand and negotiation, in which the firm drafts and sends a formal demand package to the insurance company and negotiates with the adjuster. Fourth, settlement or lawsuit, where the page says that if the insurer refuses a fair amount the firm will file in the county Superior Court, such as King County, Pierce County or Snohomish County Superior Court. The No Win, No Fee page describes the opening step as a free initial consultation followed by an assessment of legal options with no upfront costs. The contact page says the firm reviews all cases, selects those that match its legal expertise, and may refer a caller to alternative legal representation if it cannot assist. Whether a case is accepted, and how long any stage takes, is decided by the firm and is not published.
