Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that navigating legal matters can be daunting. Here, we address some common questions to help clarify our services and the legal processes involved.

  • What should expect at my initial consultation?

    An initial consultation, which are usually scheduled for 30 minutes to 1 hour,  is an opportunity for us to meet, so that we can understand your legal situation and discuss a plan for how to best address it.  Nothing is more important than hiring an attorney with whom you are confortable with and have confidence in, and this is a great opportunity for you to make that determination, as well for us to answer some questions and give some information.

  • How long will my case take?

    How long your legal matter takes varies greatly on the type of matter it is, as well as a whole bunch of variables.  While we will never be able to give a firm answer to this question at an initial consultation, with our experience we often can give a reasonably good idea.

  • What are your fees?

    We tailor our fees to the particulars of your matter, and can generally only give a quote as part of an initial consutlation once we have learned the unique details of your situation.  In personal injury matters we charge a contingency fee, meaning you pay no legal fees up front and we only get paid when we get a recovery for you, and on other matters we quote either a flat fee or an hourly rate with a retainer depending on the particulars of the matter.

  • Can I handle my case without a lawyer?

    While it's legally allowable to represent yourself, having an experienced attorney can significantly improve your chances of a favorable outcome. This is a good question to broach as part of your intitial consulation, and while its rare, there are situations we would advise you probably will be ok without hiring an attorney.
