Faq's

Is there any charge for the initial consultation?

No. Your first consultation is free and you are under no obligation. If you wish to retain me, we will discuss how that works at that time.

Will my case be confidential?

Absolutely. The Code of Professional Responsibility mandates that attorney-client communications are confidential. I will protect all confidential information you provide to me to the greatest degree permitted by law.

How do you bill?

I handle most commercial cases on an hourly fee. I bill in increments of one-tenth of an hour. I do not add any “cost-plus” factor to expenses you may incur in your case. In some cases I represent clients on a contingent fee basis. This means my fee is a percentage of the amount I recover.
