Firm's commitment:
The firm is committed to the continuing education of the attorneys and staff. The attorneys regularly participate either as
instructors or attendees at seminars given by professional bar association groups in furtherance of their continuing legal
education. The relationship between the client and the firm is based upon complete trust and confidence. On a regular basis, the firm provides its clients with information on the progress of their legal matters and copies of important documents and pleadings. The firm's office reflects state-of-the-art technology in office equipment and computer systems. The attorneys are assisted by trained legal secretaries and an escrow closer to ensure the prompt, economical delivery of legal and title services to clients.
Our policies and fees:
Firm policy requires each attorney to discuss any fee arrangement before the client's legal matter is accepted so that the attorney and client develop a mutually agreed basis for determining the fee. In most cases, fees are based on time, value, and the responsibility involved. Some work is done on an hourly basis. For other matters, a flat fee is appropriate. In some
cases, fees are charged on a contingent fee basis, in which the fee for legal services is a percentage of the amount of money
obtained for the client. Generally, the firm's fees are billed on a monthly basis; in some cases however, the fee is payable
upon completion of the work. In addition, for some matters, the firm's policy requires an advance payment, known as an
initial retainer.. Asset Protection|Closings|Collections|Leasing|Litigation|Power of Attorney|Trusts
