Our Reliable 5-Step Process
-
We begin by collecting essential details—such as your name and the names of those involved—to check for potential conflicts of interest and confirm we’re able to assist you. Our priority is ensuring we can represent you effectively. If any issues arise, we’ll let you know promptly and transparently.

Next, you’ll sit down with one of our experienced lawyers for a one-hour consultation. This is your opportunity to share your story, review any relevant documents, and ask questions. Our lawyer will provide initial insights, outline potential options, and help you determine the best path forward for your situation.
Our standard hourly rates typically start at $300, but our initial consultation fee is $200. If you choose to retain us, this fee will be credited back to you, effectively making the consultation complimentary.
-
This is where we stand out. After carefully reviewing your case as a team, we’ll recommend the lawyer whose skills and approach best align with your needs. The decision is ultimately yours, and we’re here to support you in choosing a legal advocate you feel confident in. Our experience shows that a well-matched lawyer can make all the difference.
-
When you’re ready to proceed, we’ll formally open your file to begin working on your behalf. As is standard practice in legal services, a retainer will be required to initiate the process. We’ll guide you through this step to ensure everything is set up smoothly and efficiently.
-
Now we roll up our sleeves. Your lawyer will take the lead on your case, keeping you informed and working closely with you to pursue your goals. When it’s in your best interest, we collaborate as a team to bring added insight, and if another lawyer on our team is a stronger fit, we’ll shift seamlessly—our close-knit approach ensures a smooth transition.
