* CONSULTS
Cases and disputes can vary in complexity. Some can be handled in a routine 20 minute phone consult. More complex matters will require time to review and analyze documents and legal issues. If your matter is more complex, we may offer you a paid one hour consultation or hourly services, depending on the time needed to properly evaluate your situation. We always require a signed retainer agreement before we begin to provide legal services. The agreement will detail the scope of services included as well as your rights as a new client.
