FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  We will propose a flat fee for most standard transactions after the initial free consultation to determine your needs and the scope of our service. Only after this, do we sign a clear agreement. It’s that simple!

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  First we want to make sure that our clients know they’re speaking with a real human attorney — myself or my partner. As the managing partner in the firm I try to speak with our clients directly to initiate contact, I even pick up all incoming calls!! For efficiency, I may ask our awesome staff to make email contact with you to schedule a phone or video conversation at a mutually convenient time. I believe that there must be some initial free consultation and discussion, and then we figure out if there is something you need to hire us for (that’s not always the outcome), and then I explain the costs and the process, and then only if we decide to work together we will send an agreement and a payment link.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  Eugene: I hav been practicing law for 20 years, starting with criminal defense, which makes me very comfortable in courtrooms and with people, then switching to intellectual property litigation prior to going into private practice with a broader focus. My personal interests have always been in literature and publishing, music, as well as visual arts and Broadway — this explains my interest in intelectual property law. I do a fair amount of copyright law, consulting on brands and trademarks, and even some music industry deals. Who else can really say they have been featured in a rap song by their client?! (Eugene rhymes with dream.) This practice has evolved into working with small businesses and medical practices on various commercial issues. Nick Khalifeh focuses on real estate transactions, commercial and residential, as well as estate planning, by working with families on securing their assets by setting up trusts and writing wills.
