What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

An educated consumer is my best customer.

Are your attorneys willing to review documents prepared by clients?

yes

Are your attorneys willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

yes

Are your attorneys willing to help a client with one discrete part of a case, without taking on the whole case?

yes

What are your policies about dividing work among the firm's partners, associates, and paralegals to make the process most cost-effective for the client?

I cut out all those middlemen and overhead and handle your case personally from start to finish. I encourage clients who want to keep their legal costs down to handle routine chores such as starting their own discovery responses which we will then review and finalize together.

How frequently does your firm use mediation, arbitration, or collaborative law to resolve cases?

As required by parties or law.

Does your firm provide pro bono legal services or otherwise participate in your community?

Yes through the bar association

What distinguishes your law firm from others?

When you retain me, I become your advocate. I attend to your matter personally because I know your case is important to you. I do not hand your matter over to some associate. As part of my representation of your interests I want you, the client, to achieve certain objectives. You will fully understand the procedures and strategies which I employ in your case. I am accessible to you. Your calls and emails will be returned promptly. You will be confident that I am working diligently with you to achieve a favorable outcome in your matter. At the end of your case, I want you to be satisfied that I zealously represented your interests and rights.

Nolo's Licensing Check

Attorneys have passed a licensing check. Nolo has confirmed that every member attorney has a valid license and is in good standing with the state agency that licenses lawyers upon joining the directory.

Directory lawyers are required to notify Nolo immediately if they become the subject of any disciplinary action by any state licensing agency.
