Our Purpose
Our law firm is dedicated to helping you avoid and solve legal problems. We understand that hiring an attorney can be an intimidating experience. Be assured that every member of this firm will handle your case seriously, sensitively, and confidentially. We want you to feel comfortable and secure in allowing us to help you take care of your legal issues.
Advantages of a Small Law Firm
When you hire a sole practitioner or small law firm to represent you, you deal directly with the attorney responsible for your case. In some large firms your case will be accepted by a partner but then given to a younger attorney to work on for experience. You may hire a large law firm for its well-known name and never even get to meet one of the named partners. At this law office we strive to tailor representation to your individual needs. We stay small on purpose to preserve the integrity of the lawyer-client relationship.
We Take Your Trust and Confidentiality Seriously
Attorney-Client Privilege
The Rules of Professional Conduct prohibit lawyers and their staff from discussing your legal problem or personal affairs with others. You should feel comfortable in discussing your situation with your lawyer and his staff. At this law office, we consider the simple fact that you consulted us a secret that we will not divulge without your permission. You should feel secure in revealing all pertinent information, good or bad. The better our understanding of your unique factual situation, the better we can help you.
Fees
The fee you pay for our services will often depend on the type of case you have. Fees may be based on a flat rate or an hourly rate. All fees are explained and agreed to in writing at the time the case is accepted. Generally a down payment or retainer is required of the client. If you ever have a question about your bill, you should feel free to call and discuss it.
