Talk to a lawyer

A 20-minute initial assessment with a lawyer. $150, taxes included.

The assessment call is for us to evaluate your case and understand what we'll need in order to get you what you're looking for. By the end of the call you'll know whether we can help, what we'd do, and what it would cost. Please note: no legal advice is provided during the assessment call. Legal advice comes once you've retained us and we're working on your matter. The $150 is credited in full if you hire us.

This is a 20-minute call. We cover as much as we can and stop at twenty minutes. If more is needed, we will say what the next step is and what it would cost.
