Frequently asked questions about Joseph Alexander Vuckovich

Answers built from this attorney's public case docket.

How do I find a good VICP lawyer?
Most petitioners hire counsel because the program's evidentiary burden, expert-witness requirements, and procedural rules are complex. Reasonable attorney fees in VICP cases are paid by the program — not by the petitioner — under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(e)(1), so engaging counsel does not reduce a successful petitioner's recovery.
