A Word About Our Fees

At our initial meeting, we discuss the nature and extent of the work anticipated. We will make our initial analysis of the problems and their probable resolutions, the scope of our undertaking, and the financial basis upon which we will represent you. The terms of our engagement are set forth in a letter to you.
The nature of our representation controls the fee structure. Our fees may be fixed, hourly, a percentage of a recovery, a blend of hourly and percentage, set by statute, or part of an annual retainer. When we accept your matter, we want you to be comfortable with how you will be billed and how you will pay for our services.

Confidentiality

Staff Members are under an obligation of confidentiality. What you tell us is done so in confidence and we respect that confidence. Each staff member recognizes their obligation to you, the client, and signs a confidentiality pledge upon employment.

Conflicts of Interest

We do our best to avoid conflicts of interest. At times we have been asked to represent parties involved in the same problem at the same time. We will avoid any representation that implies a conflict of interest. We will provide a "second opinion" if requested.
