Consultations are one of the most important services we provide to prospective clients. Due to the demands of one's personal and professional life not everyone is able to find the time to visit our office to sit down and discuss "face-to-face" the particular legal issues or problems they may be facing. In response to this reality we have instituted telephonic consultations as a means of reaching out and making our services available to the many people who would otherwise be unable to benefit from our office's legal expertise. Like a face-to-face consultation during your telephone consultation we will listen to your problem or issue in detail and attempt to answer as many of your questions as possible and offer practical recommendations and advice to help you and guide you in resolving your particular legal issue or problem. Our goal is for you to feel, by the end of the consultation, that you now know exactly what "is" and what "is not" possible and what options "are" and "are not" available to you. This specific, tailored advice will save you immeasurable time, money, and stress. It is our hope that following our consultation – whether you decide to work with us or another attorney – you will, at the very least, be able to make informed, knowledge-based decisions about how you will proceed with your case.
You will pre-pay a $250.00 fee to consult with Victor A. Nezu, Esq. for 75 minutes. You need not worry that "the clock is ticking" in case the consultation lasts a little more than the 75 minute period. We encourage you to take the time to be sure you are getting the advice you need and that you fully understand your legal options. For your security and convenience, The Law Offices of Victor A. Nezu, P.C., accepts major credit card payments through Google Checkout's secure payments system.
If you are considering retaining our firm, the consultation provides an excellent opportunity for you to become acquainted with our professional team, who will be there to help you throughout your case. The consultation is confidential and subject to the attorney-client privilege, even if you do not retain us.
Feel free to inquire at any time before, during, or after the consultation about the costs of any future representation. We want you to feel comfortable with the arrangements so that you can get the most out of your visit with us. For many clients, we are the first law firm they have ever engaged. We welcome all questions. Every case is different, and as a result, attorney's fees can vary greatly from case to case. While it is impossible to forecast at the front end exactly how long any case will take, we will endeavor during your consultation to give you our best estimate of how much time your case could take and what you could potentially end up paying in attorney's fees, expenses, and costs. Furthermore, even though your case might involve various unforeseen factors, we will provide a candid and straightforward analysis of what the costs of your case might be.
Important goals for the consultation include making you feel comfortable, determining the unique problems you face in the circumstances of your case, obtaining necessary information to evaluate and plan your case, and collaborating to set goals. We perform an initial analysis, looking at known facts, the law, the strengths of your case, and the weaknesses of the case. Great care is taken in helping you choose what course of action is best for you. This early analysis includes decisions regarding the investigation and legal research necessary to accomplish your goals.
