Fees, Costs and Case Results
Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.
Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are countervailing duties and how do they affect Elk Grove businesses?
- Countervailing duties (CVD) are tariffs imposed to offset unfair foreign government subsidies. When foreign governments provide financial assistance to manufacturers or exporters, the U.S. Department of Commerce can impose CVD rates of 10% to 200%+ on top of normal tariffs. Elk Grove technology and manufacturing companies importing steel, aluminum, electronics, and other products may face massive CVD. Our Elk Grove countervailing duty attorney helps you determine CVD exposure and develop avoidance strategies.
- Can CVD apply to technology products imported by Elk Grove companies?
- Yes. CVD orders cover solar panels, semiconductors, and electronic components from China and other countries where governments provide subsidies to tech manufacturers. If you import computer hardware, solar technology, or electronics components, CVD exposure is likely. Our Elk Grove attorney conducts CVD risk assessments and prepares scope ruling requests.
- What is a CVD scope ruling and why do I need one?
- A scope ruling from the Commerce Department determines whether your specific product is covered by an existing CVD order. If your product is excluded from scope, you avoid CVD entirely. Scope rulings are critical when the order language is ambiguous or your product has unique characteristics. Our Elk Grove CVD attorney prepares comprehensive scope ruling requests with technical specifications, product samples, and legal analysis.
- How do you help Elk Grove companies with EAPA investigations related to CVD?
- CBP's Enforce and Protect Act (EAPA) investigates CVD evasion through transshipment or misrepresentation of country of origin. EAPA investigations are serious - we provide immediate response including comprehensive questionnaires, supply chain documentation, manufacturing evidence, and substantial transformation analysis. Our Elk Grove attorney has defended numerous EAPA investigations successfully.
- Do you serve other Central Valley cities besides Elk Grove?
- Yes, from our Elk Grove location we serve the entire Central Valley including Sacramento, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Davis, Roseville, and Stockton. We represent technology companies, manufacturers, agricultural businesses, and importers throughout the Central Valley with countervailing duty and customs legal services.
