Our process
Before a legal matter becomes a working relationship, the firm needs to understand whether it can assist.
Share basic contact information and the general type of matter. Keep confidential details out of the initial inquiry.
The firm identifies what screening and information are needed to evaluate the matter and any potential conflicts.
Do not assume your matter has been accepted or a deadline is being monitored until the firm expressly confirms representation.
Your name, a way to reach you, the general category of matter, and a brief nonsensitive description are a useful starting point. Please ask how to provide records before sending detailed information or documents.
The firm may need further screening before a substantive discussion. An inquiry does not guarantee a consultation or acceptance of a matter.
Discuss consultation arrangements, fees, costs, and the proposed scope directly with the firm. Do not assume a consultation is free or that a particular fee arrangement applies.
Do not rely on an unanswered inquiry to protect a deadline. Seek timely assistance from qualified counsel; contacting the firm alone does not mean a deadline is being monitored.
