Welcome! We are thrilled you would like to book a consultation with us. We know that most people have no idea what to expect during their initial consultation and that talking to a lawyer can be nerve-wracking. Take a deep breath and relax. We have compiled this list of some of the most frequently asked questions that people often have about what to expect during an initial consultation with an attorney so that you can feel better prepared when you decide to move forward.
All consultations will be conducted online via Zoom or via telephone. This allows you to meet with an attorney from the comfort of your home or office, wherever it’s most convenient for you. We’ve found that virtual consultations provide the flexibility to address your needs effectively, without the need for travel or scheduling conflicts.
ABSOLUTELY!
Consultations typically last up to 1 hour. This allows you ample time to discuss your situation, ask questions, and receive important information about your next steps.
Yes, if you are a returning client, you can hire us without a consultation. For new clients, we require a consultation to ensure we understand your situation and to provide you with the best possible guidance before proceeding with representation.
During your consultation you will:
– Receive detailed information about your situation
– Learn about the potential options available to you
– Have your questions answered and gain clarity about your next steps
This session is designed to help you make informed decisions about moving forward with your case.
Before your consultation, please complete our preliminary intake questionnaire. This includes:
– Your name, email, and phone number
– The name of the opposing party
– Basic information to help us determine if your case falls within our jurisdiction
All information shared will be kept confidential.
Divorce & Family Law:
– If you’ve been served with court paperwork, please bring it with you
– A copy of your original marriage certificate or child’s birth certificate (if applicable)
– Any recent tax returns, pay stubs, or bank statements, especially if child support or alimony is involved
– Any documents you believe may be relevant to your case (including evidence like texts, emails, or other communications)
We request that you give at least 24 hours’ notice in writing if you need to cancel or reschedule your consultation.
We hope this helps clarify what you can expect during your consultation. If you have any additional questions or need further information, feel free to reach out to our team—we’re here to help!
