Our Process
Free Initial Consultation
We offer a free 20-minute consultation by phone or Zoom to discuss your needs and determine if we're the right fit. During this call, we'll provide cost estimates. Please note that we can't provide specific legal advice until we're officially hired as your attorneys.
Fee Agreements and Retainers
In every case, we will discuss with you the anticipated fees and costs, and we will provide you with a written fee agreement. We will request that you provide us with an upfront payment before we begin working on your case.
