Royal Law Firm PLLC

Our staff will respond to the prospective client (customer) inquiry (web, phone, or email) generally within 1 business day and schedule an initial free 15 min appointment (e-Meeting) with an attorney. Before the appointment, we send the customer information on our services and the next steps to prepare for the initial attorney meeting (by video or audio only as the customer prefers). 

The meeting is a touchpoint to set expectations, explain our always accessible and secure digital communication systems, our fee structure, and scope the representation. We then follow up  providing the customer access to their unique digital case platform, engagement letter and any advance payment requirements. Once the customer signs the letter and pays any retainer/advance payment (held in escrow until earned), we begin representing the client. 

Our attorneys will then follow up with a detailed communication with the customer with next steps, timelines, legal strategy etc., keeping the lines of communication open at all times and catering the representation to the customer throughout the process until the service engaged is completed.
