  • How do you charge for your service?
    Usually, we charge either on a contingent fee basis, fixed fee, or hourly rate. Our time, advice and service are the only commodities we sell. Depending upon the type of service required, our fees structure is based on the time we must work on the case and the legal complexity or difficulty involved in the case. Your attorney will discuss our fees at your initial conference. You will be told in advance how we will calculate the costs of the legal work we will do for you-and we'll put it all in writing, so there will be no misunderstandings. If a contingent fee is appropriate, this means that a certain percentage of the amount collected is set aside for our fee. The percentage will often vary depending upon the length of involvement your case requires. Court costs and out-of-pocket expenses can either be paid as they occur, or deducted at the conclusion of your case. A fixed fee may be established based on the estimated time required and complexity of your case. These fees will be discussed in further detail on your initial visit to our office. Cases handled on an hourly rate are billed monthly. We provide you with a statement which itemizes all services rendered during the period. At our first conference, we will discuss the appropriate fee schedule for your situation and needs. Our standard policy requires a deposit before expenses are incurred unless a contingent fee arrangement is established.
  • How do I know you'll keep me informed about my case?
    We must and we will. Open and candid communication is necessary for an active client-attorney relationship because your satisfaction is our objective. We insist that you discuss freely with us any concerns you may have about how we are handling your case. Frequently, we can answer your questions by telephone, which will save you time and money. However, be assured our attorneys will discuss your legal concerns with you personally.
  • How do I make an appointment?
    We will make appointments to fit your schedule, whenever possible. There may be times when we are not available. We may be in court or preparing another client's case for settlement or trial. If your attorney is not available, rest assured that our messaging system will ensure a prompt response. If possible, please call in advance for an appointment so we will be available and can give you undivided attention. We accept phone calls during the workday if we are available. However, we can't answer calls if we are in conference. For routine matters, please feel free to speak with a member of our staff, or leave a message with our messaging system. We will return your call as soon as possible.
