Costs

• Free Consultancy Service
  Free consultation depends on the case, and is not guaranteed. Our firm requires that you complete an initial intake, and if the initial summary indicates that it is economically viable for us to take the case on contingency, I offer a free consultation. Often times, people only need to talk to a lawyer and ask a few questions. In that scenario, I offer a one-time, $250 consult fee.
• Payment With Credit Card
• Conditional Fees
  The case must look like it is viable for us to take on contingency. That means the case has enough value and probability of winning that we can take the risk of pursuing the case on a contingency basis.
