An attorney-client relationship only exists once our clients have signed and confirmed our engagement agreement. Our firm, through our sole discretion, reserves our right to refuse representation and we make no guarantees of representation until completed information has been reviewed by the attorney. Please contact our office directly for information on fees relating to consultations and representation.

Fees, Payments and Refunds
