Every case is unique. There are a lot of different paths that we can take, and ultimately, you know your relationship better than we do. It’s our job to provide options, and from those options, with our guidance, you will decide which route is the best to take. We will advise you taking all of your circumstances into consideration, not just based on what route earns us the most money or is the answer on paper. Sometimes filing right away is the best answer, and often it is not. We will work together to find the solution that is best for you and your family.

Our fee structure depends on the type of legal service provided.
For personal injury matters, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients do not pay any attorney’s fees upfront. Our fee is only collected if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
For family law, we charge a $300 consultation fee, after this, we bill on an hourly basis and require a refundable retainer. The retainer is applied toward billed time and any unused portion is returned to the client at the conclusion of the matter.
For will consultations, we charge a $300 consultation fee. If you choose to retain our firm for will preparation, that consultation fee is credited toward the total cost of the service.
