FAQ
-
How does representation work at your firm?We arrange a consultation with you, taking at least 30 minutes beforehand to review your documentation and up to an hour of time meeting with you, either in person or by video conference, to get more information and discuss your options. It is an information exchange to help you decide if you want to retain our services and for us to confirm that we can work well with you during such representation.
-
Do you offer flat fee representation?No. With “flat fee” representation, you often get what you pay for. We do not offer flat fee arrangements because no two cases are ever alike.
-
Do you offer contingency fee agreements?
Generally, no. Absent a situation involving a large claim for damages on a highly complex matter, we do not offer contingency fee agreements.
-
If I have a consultation but you decide not to take my case, what next?Generally, if we decide not to take your case for whatever reason, but we feel like someone could still help you, we will try to refer you to another capable law firm.
-
If I have a consultation and you decide to take my case, what next?
We will decide on an appropriate initial retainer amount and prepare a Fee Agreement / Engagement Letter that outlines your rights and responsibilities as a client and our rights and responsibilities as your attorneys. You will sign the agreement, pay the retainer and we will start work on your case immediately thereafter.
-
Are you allowed to talk to anyone about what we discuss in our consultation?
No. Just like if you hire us as your counsel, what you tell us is protected by attorney-client privilege. It is held in confidence because you need to be able to be completely honest with your prospective attorneys from the start.
-
When are you prohibited from taking my case?
We are prohibited from taking your case if it is in a jurisdiction in which we are not admitted to practice (like a different state or a Federal Court in which we have not yet been admitted).
