Probate Consultation

We offer two types of

consultations

1) 15-Minute Virtual Discovery Meeting or Phone Call:

This free session is simply to determine whether our firm is the right fit for your needs. It is not a legal consultation, and no legal advice will be given. Instead, we’ll identify your case type, discuss general fee ranges, and outline how we typically approach cases. This helps you decide if moving forward with a full consultation makes sense. No preparation is required.
 

2) 1-Hour In-Person or Virtual Consultation: The one-hour consultation is a focused meeting where you can discuss your legal situation, ask questions, and receive tailored guidance from a lawyer. It’s valuable because it gives you clarity on your rights, your options, and the possible outcomes before you make important decisions. By filling out a questionnaire and providing specific documentation ahead of your consultation, the attorney will analyze your case and give you legal advice tailored to your particular situation. Because this time is devoted exclusively to you—and often involves research, strategy, and professional judgment—the attorney charges for the consultation ($400*), just as any skilled professional does for their expertise.  You should leave with clarity, direction, and a plan of action.

*The consultation fee of $400.00 must be paid in advance and is non-refundable; however, credits can be applied if you need to reschedule. After booking, you’ll receive a questionnaire via email. Please complete it to the best of your ability and return it ASAP before your consultation, along with any supporting documentation, so the attorney has time to adequately prepare.
