How it works
Three straightforward steps.
- 1
Tell me what you need
Submit a consultation request. When appropriate, a brief Project Fit Call may be available to determine fit—not to provide legal advice.
- 2
Determine fit and scope
I’ll determine whether the matter fits my practice and identify the appropriate service, scope, and fee structure.
- 3
Get legal help
If we decide to work together, we’ll move forward under an agreed written engagement.
Request a consultation
Tell me how I can help.
I personally review every inquiry and generally respond within one business day. If the matter appears to fit the practice, I will explain the appropriate next step.
Please do not include confidential or time-sensitive information. Submitting an inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship.
