QUALIFICATIONS FOR BECOMING A CLIENT AND HOW TO BECOME A CLIENT
We are accepting these cases on a contingent fee basis. In other words, you will not owe us a dime if we do not recover monetary damages for you. You will also not be expected to advance court costs or litigation expenses.
We will review the application of any potential new client who meets each of the following three criteria:
A.) A member of the U.S. armed forces who was present in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar or on a naval vessel in the northwestern Persian Gulf for any time between January 17, 1991 (the beginning of the air war) and March 14, 1991 (the last day of the nerve gas plume from Khamisiyah).
B.) A veteran who has been assigned any percentage of disability by the
Veterans Administration for any of the following signs or symptoms:
1.) Fatigue;
2.) Signs or symptoms involving skin;
3.) Headache;
4.) Muscle pain;
5.) Joint pain;
6.) Neurologic signs or symptoms;
7.) Neuropsychological signs or symtoms;
8.) Signs or symptoms involving the respiratory system (upper or lower);
9.) Sleep disturbances;
10.) Gastrointestinal signs or symptoms;
11.) Cardiovascular signs or symptoms;
12.) Abnormal weight loss;
13.) Menstual disorders; or
14.) Any percentage under the "undiagnosed illness compensation program for
Gulf War veterans. (Quoting 38 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 3.317); and
C.) A veteran who has not been incarcerated for crime since the Gulf War.
We will also review the application of parents of any birth-defected child, born to a Gulf War veteran who was present in the Persian Gulf theater of operations anytime between January 17, 1991 and March 14, 1991.
We reserve the right to accept or reject any prospective client applications. We will try to respond with a letter either accepting or declining your case within two weeks of receiving your application. YOU SHOULD NOT CONSIDER YOURSELF AN INDIVIDUAL CLIENT OF OUR LAW FIRMS UNLESS YOU RECEIVE A SIGNED ACCEPTANCE LETTER FROM US IN RESPONSE TO YOUR COMPLETED APPLICATION.
