Many fees charged by attorney’s can be prohibitive. While there is something to the fact that “you get what you pay for,” there is also something to providing high quality service and product at a reasonable price. I am upfront with all of my clients about pricing, time frame, and make every effort to predict possible unexpected expenses so that you can plan a solution to your problem.
How Do I Pay You?
I accept credit cards or debit cards, checks, as well as taking many other forms of payment. Before I accept any payment, I will conduct a thorough intake with you to determine which legal path will produce the most likely success or minimize risks to you or your business.
