Consultations

When you call our office to schedule your initial consult, you will first speak to a legal assistant who will ask you questions about your situation. They will determine if we are the best fit for you.

 

Some of our initial consults are free of charge, others carry a reasonable fee which is later applied to the retainer if we are hired. During the consult, we can discuss the details and assess your legal matter. Although most initial consults take place in our office, we can arrange an off site meeting, where appropriate and when we are available.
