Legal Pricing Guide
Initial Consultation
A confidential, 1-hour initial meeting allows you to openly discuss your particular legal issues and concerns with one of our attorneys, who will listen, answer, and ask questions, and provide you with advice and guidance so you can make informed decisions. We use our experience, knowledge, and resources to provide a valued service to you.
When you make your appointment, this information will be confirmed in further detail. If your matter can be resolved during the initial meeting, then you will simply owe the fee previously paid. If you decide to move forward with engaging our office to provide legal services for you, the initial consultation fee will be credited to your account for the hourly or flat fee service fee. Thereafter, we will discuss the retainer fee and payment options based on your particular situation.
Our office is available for in-person appointments. We also offer virtual telephone consultations and appointments.
