Request a conflict check by phone
Call (662) 466-6045 to discuss a matter directly with Preston. Have the following ready so the conflict check can be completed on the first call:
- Case caption, court, and jurisdiction
- All parties, the venue or licensee, and any insurer
- Whether you represent the plaintiff or the defense
- Deposition and trial dates, if set
- A short summary of the alcohol-service or operational issues
Written materials can be exchanged once the conflict check clears.
What to send for a conflict check
- Case caption, court, and jurisdiction
- All parties, including the venue or licensee and any insurer
- Whether you represent the plaintiff or the defense
- Deposition and trial dates, if set
- A short summary of the alcohol-service, staffing, or operational issues
Do not send privileged material until the conflict check clears. Preston reviews the parties and venue against his prior and current engagements and responds directly, usually the same business day.
What happens next
If there is no conflict, Preston will talk through the facts with you and say candidly whether they fall within his experience and whether the records are likely to support the theory of the case. Engagement terms, retainer, and a document list follow that call. He is available for site inspections, depositions, hearings, and trial in every state, in person or by video.
