FAQ

Before you call.

Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Anything else? Our intake team responds within one business day.

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.

How quickly can you take my case?

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?

Always. A partner leads every matter, supported by an associate and paralegal who you'll know by name.
