    Costs
    • Payment With Credit Card
    • Retaines and Rates
      I accept credit cards, cash and checks. I also provide military and first responder discounts. Some matters are simply flat fee cases while some require the deposit of a retainer. I believe that my prices are not only competitive, but are more economical than most family attorneys. This helps to save my clients money in terms of fees and some costs. During your consultations, I do not watch the clock. I stay with the client until the client understands what they are facing, where the land mines are and what strategies I would employ to resolve their case. Be wary of the "free consultations" advertised. These are often handled on a shuffle you in and out and provide information that is often simply designed to encourage you to sign up and may not serve to educate you about the process as much as they should. Get your money s worth. I endeavor to provide this in my consults and offer you educated opinions related directly to your case. Call and let us help you.
