Before
Requesting your consultation
You'll start by submitting a short consultation request - your contact information, the practice area involved, and a brief description of your situation. This takes about three minutes and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
A member of our team reviews every request personally to match you with the right attorney based on your practice area and, where relevant, any attorney preference you note.
Typical response time
Within one business day, by phone or email, to confirm your appointment and consultation method.
During
Your first conversation with an attorney
30–45 minutes
Enough time to walk through your situation without feeling rushed, and to ask questions of your own.
In-person, virtual, or phone
Choose whichever format is most convenient - the consultation itself doesn't change based on method.
Fully confidential
Everything discussed is protected, whether or not you decide to move forward with representation.
After
Deciding on next steps
By the end of the conversation, your attorney will outline the realistic options available to you, an estimated scope of work, and - if you choose to proceed - a written engagement agreement covering fees and next steps. There's no pressure to decide immediately, and no obligation if you'd like time to think it over.

Ready when you are
