Get in touch
Share basic contact information and the general type of matter. Keep confidential details out of the initial inquiry.
Our process
A clear place to begin.
Before a legal matter becomes a working relationship, the firm needs to understand whether it can assist.
Discuss the fit
The firm identifies what screening and information are needed to evaluate the matter and any potential conflicts.
Confirm representation
Do not assume your matter has been accepted or a deadline is being monitored until the firm expressly confirms representation.
What to include first
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.
Conflicts and practice fit
The firm may need further screening before a substantive discussion. An inquiry does not guarantee a consultation or acceptance of a matter.
Fees and engagement
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.
Time-sensitive matters
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.
