For the most productive consultation, please gather any relevant documents such as wills, trusts, medical directives, insurance policies, or correspondence related to your legal matter. Make notes about your specific questions and concerns. If you're seeking advice about a particular situation, prepare a timeline of events.

Initial consultations typically last 60 minutes, which provides sufficient time to discuss your situation in detail and receive preliminary legal guidance. More complex matters may require additional follow-up sessions. We'll always be transparent about time expectations before your appointment.

Our standard consultation fee is $250 for a 60-minute session. Some specialized consultations (such as comprehensive estate plan reviews) may have different pricing, which we'll disclose when you schedule. We offer reduced rates for veterans and low-income seniors in certain circumstances.

Absolutely. We encourage clients to bring a trusted family member or friend to consultations if desired. For certain legal matters (like powers of attorney or healthcare directives), having key family members present can be particularly helpful. We just ask that you inform us in advance if you'll be bringing additional people.
