How an engagement proceeds

1You write, in a few general sentences, and the office is in touch to schedule a conversation.2The consultation: your situation, your documents, and what the work would involve, in plain English.3If both sides agree, an engagement letter describes the work and the terms, and both sign it.4The work itself, with advice and updates delivered in writing.

Before you write

Sending a message through this form does not create an attorney-client relationship, and it does not make this office your lawyer. That happens only when an engagement letter is signed by both sides.

Until then, keep the details general. Say what kind of matter it is and what you need, and save the confidential specifics for the consultation.

If a deadline is close, call rather than write.

Preparation

What to have at hand.

The consultation works best with the paper in front of us. Bring what exists; do not worry about what does not.

Before you ask

What happens after I send the form?

The office reaches out to schedule a conversation. If the matter is not a fit for this practice, you will be told promptly rather than left waiting.

Why should I keep the details general?

Until an engagement letter is signed, this office is not your lawyer, and what you send may not be protected by attorney-client privilege. The general shape of the matter is enough to schedule the conversation where the details belong.

What does a consultation cost?

The first consultation is free. Fees for any work after that are discussed directly and confirmed in writing in the engagement letter. Nothing on this website is a quote.

If a deadline is close, do not wait on a form.
