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
- Why is country of origin important for my Lake Elsinore business?
- Country of origin affects tariff rates, trade agreement eligibility, government procurement requirements, and consumer labeling. Incorrect origin claims can result in CBP penalties ranging from negligence (actual loss of duties + 20%) to gross negligence (2-4x duties) or fraud (4-8x duties). Our Lake Elsinore country of origin attorney ensures compliant origin determinations.
- How does substantial transformation work?
- Substantial transformation occurs when articles lose their identity and become new articles with a distinct name, character, and use. For example, importing fabric and sewing garments results in substantial transformation - the country of origin becomes where the garments were sewn, not where the fabric was woven. Our firm analyzes your manufacturing to determine if substantial transformation occurred.
- What are the penalties for incorrect country of origin marking?
- Incorrectly marked or unmarked goods may be subject to a marking duty equal to 10% of the customs value. CBP may refuse entry and require re-exportation or proper marking before release. Repeated violations can result in enhanced penalties and increased CBP scrutiny. Our Lake Elsinore marking attorney ensures compliance to avoid these penalties.
- Can you help with USMCA origin certifications?
- Yes. USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement) allows duty-free treatment for qualifying goods. We analyze product-specific rules of origin, calculate regional value content, trace originating materials, and prepare USMCA certifications. We also handle verifications and respond to CBP and foreign customs authority requests.
- Do you serve other Southwest Riverside cities?
- Yes, from our Lake Elsinore service area we represent businesses throughout Southwest Riverside County including Murrieta, Temecula, Menifee, Wildomar, Canyon Lake, Perris, and Hemet. We also serve clients at Southern California ports including Port of Los Angeles, Port of Long Beach, and Port of San Diego.
