FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I use flat rate pricing for criminal cases, and an hourly fee for family law and other cases. My fees are set at a level where most clients can afford services, and I use payment plans to keep clients up-to-date on their bill.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When a new client reaches out, my paralegal or I will respond to set up a time for a telephone call or Skype meeting. Since my firm is virtual, there is no need for you to drive to a stuffy office; you can meet with me from the comfort of your own home.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
