If this is your first time meeting with one of our attorneys, you can book a one-hour session for ONLY $200. Rather than providing a “free consultation” like some firms (where you just meet the attorney and learn all about the firm), we jump right into providing valuable legal advice and helping you find a solution that meets your needs. During your first session, you will meet with an attorney to discuss your legal issues, get legal advice and questions answered, and develop a strategy moving forward.
