Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
On some types of matters we can offer a flat fee or minimum earned retainer so you do not have any additional fees in most cases.
Otherwise, like most attorneys we bill on an hourly basis. Our rates are competitive and we use paralegals here possible to reduce your overall fee on hourly matters.
How did you get started in this business?
I saw my parents struggle with legal problems and the lawyers that helped them and other attorneys that could have given them better advice. I decided that I wanted to help people in similar situations so that they could move past their legal problems and and in some cases get a fresh start to re-build their lives
What types of customers have you worked with?
We represent individuals, companies, trustees in bankruptcy and government agencies.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Our firm won a case for a client and friend against a person in a land sale that defaulted on a purchase and then filed a baseless lawsuit to try to stop the property from being sold to anyone else. I now have the pleasure of representing a bankruptcy trustee a few years later selling property in a bankruptcy case owned by a company controlled by the same person.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Look for experience and qualifications first. Often law firms or attorneys will offer a lower fee by reducing the level of service you will receive. We know our clients and their issues because we do not take a high volume of cases. Efficiency through volume does not always translate into a very personal experience for a client. Make sure you can speak to an atttorney throughout the process.
