FAQs
How do I know whether or not I need a lawyer?
You don’t know until you’ve consulted one. The first phone call to an attorney is free and should give you enough insight and information to determine for yourself whether or not you would like an attorney.
About how long should I expect my case to last?
This depends on the parties involved- how quickly they respond and what information is needed. Finding court time within a county’s court schedule is also a factor.
What exactly does a ‘phone conference’ entail/mean?
This is simply a telephone call between you and your attorney where the attorney either provides you with legal advice or the options you have with your issue.
Am I expected to pay upfront?
Well, yes. Give us a call for more information.
