PROBLEM SOLVERS, CREATING SOLUTIONS FOR CLIENTS
Listen
- Give us a call,
-
- We will connect you to an attorney if one is available.
- We will schedule a free consultation or phone call to discuss your legal needs if an attorney is not readily available at the time of your call.
-
- We understand that your legal needs are unique to you and will listen to your ideas, situation, and goals
Provide a Proposed Roadmap
- After we have listened to you and understand your legal needs, we will provide you with a proposed path forward.
- The strategy might range from various transactional work to litigation.
Estimate the cost
- Based on the preliminary proposed path forward, we will provide an idea as to the cost. In some cases, we can accurately predict a cost but in other cases, legal needs may have a level of uncertainty and an accurate cost would not be predictable.
- We will communicate with you throughout our engagement to ensure there are no surprises in terms of the cost
Engage us
- Once we have listened to you, provided a roadmap, and estimated the cost, you are ready to formally engage us as your attorney. Up until this stage, we will not have billed you any fees.
- We offer an attorney-client agreement and a retainer request to formally engage with the firm. We will be officially retained to represent you once you have signed the attorney-client agreement and sent the retainer.
Schedule
- We will schedule your work once you have engaged us as your attorney.
- Depending upon the nature of the work, we may schedule a meeting in the future or, we may fast track the work.
Communicate
- We place a high importance on communicating with our clients. We value our clients and guarantee we will communicate with you in a timely manner.
- Questions: Our goal is to respond to a communication from our clients within 48 hours. We may need to schedule a meeting or work at a future date to properly respond to client communication, depending upon the nature of the communication.
- Updates: We will keep you updated and informed as to your legal situation. If there are issues, we will let you know.

Resolve and Complete work

Stay in Touch
