Initial Consultation
I would be happy to discuss your case briefly and estimate my fees by telephone. I DO NOT CHARGE for your first phone call with me! If you leave me a message on my voice mail, I will return your call as soon as I can. This is the best way to find out how much something will cost!
The fee for your first meeting with me in my office is $20 for the first 30 minutes. After the first 30 minutes, you may "stop the clock" and pay only $20 or you may choose to continue and pay my normal rate for attorney time (pro-rated to the minute so that you pay only for the actual number of minutes I am "on the clock" with you).
If we have agreed that your case will be handled on a flat-fee basis, then your $20 and any further payment you make for the initial consultation will usually be applied to that flat fee.
If I am charging for my time, then the additional charges after your first 30 minutes will be at my normal rates.
For more detailed information about my fees, please see the main Fees page.
