An in-depth look into our
Professional Approach.
When you call our office to set up your initial consultation, our welcoming receptionist will obtain basic information from you and direct you to the appropriate practice area to begin the intake process. A member of our team will provide you with the specific practice area’s intake process and consultation policy, including whether there is a fee for the initial consultation.
Prior to the initial consultation, we strive to know as much as possible about your needs. Thoughtful review and advance preparation are our way of ensuring we provide you with a comprehensive consultation that is both productive and reassuring. The practice area will gather preliminary information, request additional documentation from you as needed, and assist with scheduling a consultation with the appropriate attorney.
Following the consultation, your attorney will provide you with a summary, recommendations, and an engagement letter should you desire to move forward with the proposed work. Any substantive time we have spent, including the initial consultation, review of documents, or other work prior to the meeting will be billed on either an hourly basis or as part of a flat fee. If a consultation fee has been paid, it will be credited on the first invoice. If you choose not to move forward, there is no charge, other than the consultation fee if already paid. Our goal is to know as much as possible at the time of your initial consultation to allow it to be as informative and productive as possible.
