INITIAL CONSULTATIONS: We invite those of you who may have a legal problem to consult with one of our attorneys. The charge for this service is $20.00; you should collect together all documentation you have regarding the legal issues you wish to discuss. We will review the factual circumstances with you, attempt to answer your major questions, and if further legal services are indicated, we will tell you usually in writing what those services are, how much our minimum retainer fee would be for those services, payment arrangements, and the required procedure to retain one of our attorneys. Doing an initial consultation over the telephone has an inherent risk of misunderstandings as to facts and legal issues and should be avoided for your own protection. When an in person consultation is physically impossible, one may be arranged by telephone at the discretion of our attorneys. Saturday appointments are available at our Howe Avenue Office and evening appointments may be available subject to prior arrangement with the attorney. Please call if you have questions and we will do our best to assist you.
