Why do I need a lawyer?

Depending on the nature of your legal concern, there are unavoidable statutory deadlines and requirements that you may not be aware of. We are trained and have the experience required to effectively and efficiently meet those requirements.

 

​

Why can't I handle this myself?

There are unavoidable statutory deadlines and requirements that you may not be aware of. Not complying with such requirements may waive your legal rights.  Therefore, it is highly recommended that you not handle your legal concern by yourself.

 

​

Won't I save a lot of money by doing this myself?

Depending on the nature of your legal concern, there are unavoidable statutory deadlines and requirements that you may not be aware of.  If you decide to handle the legal concern yourself, chances are that it will end up costing you much more time, energy and money in the long run.

 

​

When should I contact an attorney?

Regardless of the legal issue you are facing, due to unavoidable statutory deadlines and requirements, time is most likely of the essence. Not complying with such requirements may waive your legal rights. It is recommended that you contact an attorney as soon as possible in order to have your legal rights protected most effectively.

​

Will it cost me anything for my initial consultation?

It will cost you nothing for your initial attorney consultation. Once the nature of your legal issue has been defined, we will determine whether your case can be taken on a flat rate basis with payment options, or whether an initial retainer is needed with subsequent fees and costs to be deducted from that retainer.
