Free Consultation?
We get many calls that include the question about whether we give a free consultation. We don't mind getting the question and we understand why many people ask. They may think they can get a regular consultation with lots of useful information at no cost.
No More Free Consultations
We stopped doing free consultations years ago. Back then, we focused on giving out a little information and encouraging the prospective client to call us. It became clear after a while that many people came in with no intention of hiring us. They just wanted the information.
Our New Approach
So we changed our approach. We started to charge for the initial consultation for those who want to spend time with us in the office.
The Free Part
But we still give away a lot of information. We developed an extensive web site that provides a great deal of information to our clients. Later, we added two blogs that have been running over 10 years and which have over 300 articles with information. There's no charge for the web information.
Check Us Out First
Now, we let people check us out online and decide if they like our approach on issues. They can also educate themselves on many issues.
What You Pay For
Then, if they like what they see, they can make an appointment to meet with an attorney. We listen to you, give feedback on your ideas and sometimes do some brainstorming to come up with a plan and possible solutions. We explain the law and how it applies to your case, as well as discussing the facts of your case.
This Works!
We know this won't please the people who still something for nothing, and we're sorry we can't help everyone. For the serious people who want to hire an attorney, this seems to work well.
