Fees
  • Free Consultation
    I enjoy meeting with folks in the community, and will generally devote 15 to 30 minutes to prospective clients that would benefit from the discussion. This is typically done in one of my offices, by appointment. However, there are situations and areas of law where I do not provide free initial consultations.
  • Credit Cards Accepted
    In most instances I will accept a credit card for payment of most fees. Please check, as there are certain situations and legal matters where we will not accept a credit card. We will, however, almost always accept your debit card after we have entered into a representation agreement.
  • Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
    I prefer to work under a fixed fee arrangement when possible. When I deem it necessary, I will use a billable / hourly rate – depending on the circumstances of the matter and other business factors.
