We know you may feel nervous about asking how much advice costs, especially if this is your first legal investment. We are comfortable talking about pricing. We can design a scope of work that balances your legal needs with your budget. Don’t be afraid to ask for an initial quote, and we can adjust the scope if needed. Contact us to get started.

Every client and every legal challenge is different. In most cases, clients want a resolution outside of court – and this is usually our goal too. We start by understanding your unique situation and tailoring an approach to suit. The first step is to contact us for a discussion about your situation and goals.

Simply contact us to chat about your needs. We can arrange phone, video or in-person appointments, or we can consult over email – whatever is best for you.

Bring anything that you think might be relevant, including copies of relevant contracts, offers, correspondence etc. We can discuss what further information you might need at the first meeting.
