We do not offer free consultations. However, we offer a complimentary 15-minute introductory call with an attorney. This initial conversation is designed to help determine whether our firm is the right fit for your legal needs. Please note that this call is not for legal advice, but to assess the nature and scope of your matter, make sure you are comfortable with the attorney, and discuss next steps.

To retain us, please follow these steps:

  • Reach Out: Contact us by phone, email, or intake form.
  • Introductory Call: We’ll schedule a brief phone call or Zoom meeting with an attorney.
  • Conflicts Check: Before proceeding, we will conduct a conflicts check (see below).
  • Engagement: If we’re able to represent you, we will send you a Legal Services Agreement to review, sign and return with the required deposit amount.

Please note: We cannot represent you until you have signed a Legal Services Agreement and a paid retainer.

A Legal Services Agreement is a written contract between you and the firm that outlines:

  • The scope of the legal services we will provide
  • Your responsibilities as the client
  • Our hourly rates or applicable flat fees
  • Billing procedures and payment expectations
  • Terms of termination

This agreement ensures mutual understanding and is required before any legal work begins.

A conflicts check is an internal review required by legal ethics rules. We use it to ensure that representing you would not create a conflict of interest with our current or former clients. To conduct the check, we will ask for the names of individuals and entities involved in your matter (both on your side and on the other side).

A retainer is an advance payment held in a client trust account and applied toward costs incurred and toward legal fees as they are earned. The amount of the retainer is determined based on your matter and will be specified in your Legal Services Agreement.

We accept the following forms of payment:

  • Credit Cards (subject to a processing fee)
  • Debit Cards
  • Wire Transfers / ACH
  • Checks

Payment details will be provided on your invoice or upon request.  We send monthly billing statements that provide detail regarding fees and costs incurred for the legal services during that billing period.

Legal services are typically billed on an hourly basis.
Flat fees may be available for certain clearly defined projects and must be identified in writing. Please speak with your attorney to determine whether a flat fee is available for your specific matter.
