Free, thirty minutes, no obligation
Request a confidential consultation
Three short steps. We will call you within one business day, and the same day if you mark the matter urgent. Nothing is filed and nothing is shared.
What happens next
- A conflicts check first
Before we can discuss your matter in detail we check that we do not already act for the other party. It takes a few minutes and it is required.
- Thirty minutes, on the phone or in person
Either office, or a video call. Evening slots are available at the East Side office on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- Questions, not a sales pitch
We want dates, documents and what you actually want the next two years to look like. That is enough to give you real answers.
- A written summary within 48 hours
The case type, the statute, the deadlines already running, the realistic timeline and a fee estimate by stage.
- No retainer taken on the day
We do not ask for money at a first consultation. Take the engagement letter home and call back if it still feels right.
What to bring
Come anyway if you have none of it. A consultation with the paperwork in hand is worth three without it, but an empty-handed consultation still beats waiting another month.
- Any court papers you have been served with, including the date you received them
- Any existing final order, decree or protective order
- The last two federal tax returns and your most recent pay records
- A list of accounts, property and debts, even approximate
- Dates: marriage, separation, children's birthdays, when things changed
- A one-page note of what you want the next two years to look like
Confidentiality, and one important limit
Attorney-client privilege attaches at the consultation, before you hire us and whether or not you do. What you tell us stays with us, subject only to the standard exceptions for a stated intention to commit a future crime and mandatory child abuse reporting.
The limit is this: sending this form, or an email, does not make you a client and does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. Until we confirm in writing that we can act for you, please do not send documents or details you would not want the other side to see.
If it is not safe for us to leave a voicemail, choose that option on the form and we will not. If you would prefer a text message or email only, say so and that is what you will get.
