IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT A FREE CONSULTATION

Consultation with a lawyer does not mean that our lawyer is acting as your attorney or has agreed to advise you or represent you in any capacity.  Consultation is solely so both you and our attorney can determine if your case is appropriate for us handle.  We do NOT dispense legal advice during any consultation  by telephone. 

The consultation is without cost by telephone only and our attorney's are under no obligation to review documents.  After your consultation, both you and the attorney must mutually agree to have the attorney represent you by signing a written contact.  This written contact, also known as a "retainer agreement," is signed by you and an attorney. The retainer agreement clearly explains the cost of representation and the scope of legal work that our attorney's will perform for you. 

Without a signed retainer agreement, the attorney does NOT represent you.  Keep in mind that some legal matters and claims have specific time limits in which they must be brought.  Claims and legal rights can be jeopardized if certain action is not taken within specific time periods.  Accordingly, please do not have the mistaken belief that your matter is being handled by an attorney unless, after the attorney agrees to represent you, you obtain a written retainer agreement SIGNED by both you AND an ATTORNEY.
