To become a client of our law firm, you will need to go through a client consultation. The client consultation is not just an opportunity for you to decide if you want to become a client of our firm, but it is also an opportunity for us to review whether we want to work with you. The attorney-client relationship is a two way street and there needs to be a mutual understanding of the requirements for the attorney and the client.

Once the client is approved to become a client, a representation agreement is sent out that must be reviewed by the client and signed. The agreement states when the engagement becomes effective and work begins. Confirm that the firm has accepted the engagement; signature or payment alone does not replace that confirmation.

No, attorney's fees do not cover court costs and other expenses. In each contract, there is a clear outline of what expenses are expected and what is needed to be paid by the client. Court costs are costs that are paid to the court and ultimately reimbursed to the attorneys. It is expected of the client to reimburse the attorneys for those costs. The costs may vary depending upon the county in which the case resides.

The firm accepts credit cards through Clover, Apple Pay, Zelle, Cash App, cash and web invoices. It is important to remember that certain payment methods may incur a processing fee to the client.
