Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. Your first 45-minute meeting is free and confidential, in person or by video. There's no obligation to retain us.
How are your fees structured?
Personal injury matters are on contingency — no fee unless we win. Other matters are billed hourly or at a flat fee agreed in writing upfront.

Urgent matters (arrests, injunctions, deadlines) are reviewed the same day. Most new clients meet an attorney within 48 hours.
Will I work with a partner directly?
