• Credit Cards Accepted
  We accept Visa and Mastercard, but prefer payment by check when possible. To offset the expenses involved, we must charge markup on all credit card payments accepted.
• Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
  During our initial consultations we seek to determine the scope of services that will be needed. After determining the scope of the services needed we give fixed fee quotes whenever possible. For those matters where we cannot give a fixed fee quote we will do our best to provide you with our opinion of the expected range of fees we expect that you will incur. Unfortunately, when working with other outside of our firm, the amount of time needed to accomplish goals or resolve problems is not under our control and can be unpredictable..
