Contact & Consultation FAQ

How much does an initial consultation cost?

The initial consultation is typically complimentary. We use this time to assess your situation and determine if we can help. If we decide to work together, we'll discuss fees and engagement terms.

Does contacting you create an attorney-client relationship?

No. Initial inquiry and consultation do not create an attorney-client relationship. Privilege protection and formal representation begin only after we execute an engagement agreement.

Is my initial consultation confidential?

Yes. While privilege protection may not apply to pre-engagement conversations, we treat all information confidentially and do not discuss client matters without authorization.

Can I send sensitive documents with my initial inquiry?

We recommend not sending sensitive documents until after engagement agreement is signed and attorney-client privilege is established. Discuss sensitive matters during consultation instead.

What's your typical fee arrangement?

Fee arrangements vary based on case type. We offer hourly rates, flat fees for certain services, and may discuss contingency arrangements for recovery cases. We'll discuss options during consultation.

How will you keep me updated?

Regular communication is important. We typically provide case updates monthly or as significant developments occur, with more frequent contact during active litigation or urgent matters.

Can you represent me in other jurisdictions?

Yes, we work with international counsel networks in most jurisdictions. We coordinate cross-border proceedings and can engage local counsel as needed.

What if I can't afford legal representation?

Discuss your financial situation during consultation. For cases with strong recovery prospects, we may work on contingency or hybrid fee arrangements to make representation accessible.
