Our Offices receive numerous telephone and e-mail inquiries requesting case-specific information. Answering such questions without sufficient information could lead to serious legal consequences for anyone relying on such responses. Toward that end, we cannot offer legal advice over the phone or via e-mail. Instead, you are encouraged to schedule a consultation so that an adequate discussion of the facts can take place before any legal opinion is offered.
Clients seriously interested in an attorney's assistance should schedule an appointment for a consultation. We depend upon clients who place a fair value on our candid perceptions. Opinions are based on both extensive experience and knowledge of law and procedure. In many cases our office charges an initial fee for the first consultation. This fee is sometimes applied to a subsequent fee quotation, where a decision is made within 30 days to retain our office as legal counsel or representative. The usual 60 minute time frame for an appointment or teleconference is often enough time to complete a review, provide advice and explain applicable laws.
Attorneys fees ultimately depend upon an informed evaluation. Attorneys fees may vary based upon the client's specific situation as well as the discretion and experience of the practitioner.
