Hired on Thumbtack

We communicated to Jay that we were in a big hurry to get things done, expressing how slow and unresponsive attorneys can be, and he really stepped up to the plate. So much appreciated! He set our minds at ease that he could handle our unusual circumstance, and went about it quickly and professionally. We will definitely use him again for our future estate planning needs. Jay was also very transparent and fair about his prices and delivered great value.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I use both hourly and flat fee pricing.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I have a free initial telephone consultation so the client can explain his/her issue and for the client to obtain a comfort level with me. Then, if the client wishes to move forward, I send a retainer letter to initiate representation.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a law degree, masters in tax law, and many continuing legal education courses.
