FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have different types of fee structures for different types of cases. I charge an hourly rate for Divorces, Estates and civil work and a flat fee with a maximum number of appearances for criminal cases. I do not quote fees over the phone since I believe the practice of law is a profession and not a consumer driven business and I prefer to meet my client to see if both of us can build rapport for each other before quoting a fee.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In New York we have to take 12 hours of continuing education each year. I am up to date on my CLE..
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My father was an attorney for 40 years before me and I was always around his office as a kid, so it was natural for me to enter the field too.
