FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My normal hourly rate is $300 per hour. For certain matters, I will charge a flat fee in lieu of my hourly rate.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I usually have a half hour initial consultation via telephone, after which I will prepare an engagement letter with the client. I usually request a retainer, the amount of which depends on the work I will be doing. Upon receipt of the signed engagement letter from the client and the payment of the retainer, my representation begins.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Juris Doctor degree from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, which I was awarded in 1988 and where I was on the Deans List and received the American Jurisprudence Award in Trial Advocacy. I have nearly three decades of legal work experience, the majority of it in business transactions, real estate transactions and estate planning work.
