The insurance company has already called you twice. The medical bills are starting to arrive. And somewhere in the back of your mind is the question you keep not asking: should I talk to someone about this?
Here is a plain description of what happens if you do — through Direct2Attorney specifically — so you can decide with the full picture.
What Direct2Attorney is, and what it isn't
Direct2Attorney is not a law firm. We are a legal marketing and referral service. Our job is to listen to what happened, check the basic facts against what participating law firms are currently accepting, and — if it looks like a fit — connect you with an independent law firm that handles motor vehicle accident cases. The attorney-client relationship, if one forms, is between you and that firm.
We say this up front because it matters: you always know who is handling your case, and our role ends at the match.
The process, start to finish
You share the basics. A short online form or a call to our 24/7 intake team. When the crash happened, where, whether you were injured, whether you have seen a doctor, and whether the other driver was insured. About two minutes.
We check the fit. Our team reviews your details against the criteria participating firms use: injury, fault, timing, and coverage. This is screening, not legal advice.
You're connected — or you're not. If your situation appears to qualify, a participating law firm contacts you directly to discuss representation. If it does not, we tell you. Either way, you owe nothing.
There is no fee to ask. Participating firms typically work on contingency, which means legal fees are generally paid only if there is a recovery. If nothing is recovered, you typically pay no attorney's fees.
Direct2Attorney · How It WorksHandling it yourself vs. having a firm review it
On your own
Common for minor, property-only claims- You negotiate directly with the adjuster
- You decide what your injuries are worth
- You track deadlines and paperwork
- Works well when no one was hurt
With a participating firm
Common when injuries are involved- The firm handles insurer communication
- Medical bills, lost wages, and future care are valued together
- Deadlines and evidence are managed for you
- Fees are typically contingent on a recovery
Neither path is wrong. The point of a free review is to find out which one fits your situation before an early settlement decides it for you.
Who typically qualifies
Participating firms generally look for a few things: an injury that required medical attention, another party who was at least partly at fault, insurance coverage on one side or the other, and a crash recent enough that your state’s filing deadline has not passed. Meeting these does not guarantee a firm will take your case, but they are the first questions asked, so having answers ready speeds things up.
Your information stays yours
Intake is encrypted and handled under our Privacy Policy. Every submission is documented with a TrustedForm consent certificate, and you have clear opt-out and do-not-sell rights. We share your details only with participating law firms and the vendors needed to evaluate and respond to your request, as permitted by law.
What this means if you're considering a claim
The cost of asking is a few minutes. The cost of not asking can be an early settlement that closes a claim before your injuries are understood, or a filing deadline that passes quietly. If you were hurt in a crash that was not entirely your fault, a review is the simplest way to find out where you stand.

Common Questions
No. A review is a conversation about your situation. If a participating firm reaches out, deciding whether to sign a representation agreement is entirely up to you.
That is very common and does not disqualify you. Mention it during the review so the firm knows what has been said.
Many claims remain viable for a year or more, but deadlines vary by state. The sooner you check, the more options remain open.
It helps, but you do not need everything gathered to start. Firms can typically obtain reports and records after they are engaged.
No. We are a legal marketing and referral service. We do not provide legal advice, and submitting a form does not create an attorney-client relationship. That forms only if a participating firm signs a representation agreement with you.
