Free Consultation
We always give free initial telephone consultations because we believe that optimal legal representation is always personal, and part of making making your experience personal is making sure we are available for you. You can shoot us an email or give us a call any time, and we'll break down our services and what we recommend to get things going. We're just as available throughout representation. We want you to feel comfortable and confident that'll we'll be there for you in a way that only comes with a close, personal relationship with your attorney. Once this is taken care of, you're ready for a Design Meeting, which will cover your matter in detail.
