Frequently Asked Questions

Unusual times require an unusual approach to the practice of law.  Instead of traditional office conferences, during COVID-19 when clients contact the office to arrange an initial consultation, they are offered a variety of video conferencing options (such as Zoom, FaceTime and Skype) or a traditional telephone conference.  Subsequent conferences are scheduled in a similar manner.  Documents are being signed and acknowledged at an appropriate distance, whether in one of our conference rooms or in our parking lot.  No matter the method of communication, we are able to meet your legal needs. 

During the initial consultation, you can expect that your concerns will be heard. Suzanne will gather the information needed to determine whether our firm is the best fit to address your concerns. A fee arrangement will also be discussed at the outset. 

Most often the work we perform is charged on an hourly basis. Suzanne will provide you with an estimate of the fees, which is subject to change depending on unexpected issues or complications that arise during the course of the representation.

On occasion we will enter into what is referred to as a “contingent” fee arrangement. A contingent fee arrangement is one where fees are based on the ultimate outcome of the case and are usually a percentage of that outcome.

Our fee arrangement will be confirmed with you in writing. Whatever that fee arrangement is, our goal is to provide you with the highest quality legal services at a fair price.

 Suzanne  will be guiding the course of your case every step of the way. We are proud to have a staff of experienced paralegals to assist, however, again with the goal of providing the highest quality legal services at a fair price.
