FAQ

Are you the right attorney / law firm for me?

Maybe, maybe not. I am a sole practitioner working with a 12 member support staff which means that, as a client of the law firm, all your legal work will be performed by an attorney rather than handed off to paralegals or legal assistants or pushed down to junior associates as the larger law firms do, but this also means that you may occasionally call the office and find me unable to immediately speak with you. Rest assured, I have made a commitment to my clients: I will ALWAYS return phone calls on the same day. This single decisive action in commiting to providing superior customer service to my clients will separate my firm from client's prior experiences with law firms. I encourage you to call me and see for yourself.

While not required, most clients choose to conduct business with us via the more time-efficient methods of phone, fax, and email, which helps keep costs down for everyone. While this may require a certain amount of "sacrifice" versus a large law firm, the time and energy I will devote to YOUR case will largely make up for the service and full-time support staff at a large law firm where inevitably good people wind up getting lost in the shuffle.

Finally, the firm's practice is civil in nature (that is, no criminal law work); see the Practice Areas offered page of this Web site for more information. If the legal services you require aren't listed there, or you aren't sure if we're a good fit, please contact me anyway -- I am often able to provide a
referral or point you in the right direction.


Do I need to come into your office and meet you in person to retain you, or to receive legal services?

For foreclosure clients, through an initial FREE consultation, I believe a client should met his or her lawyer to become comfortable and be reassured they will be taken care of at every step of the way. The majority of other matters can be handled entirely via telephone, fax, email, and "snail" mail. However, I always like to meet my clients before agreeing to provide representation.

Do I really need a lawyer?

This is the first question you should ask yourself. In some cases you can handle the problem without hiring a lawyer. You can also pull your own tooth without a dentist or fix your own toilet without a plumber. If you do not file a proper anser WITH affirmative defenses, you may be subject to a quick motion by the Bank's law firm to obtain a judgment and scheduled sale date. An attorney experienced with foreclosure can help you save your home or at least keep you in the home for an extended period of time.

What kind of Lawyer do I need?

A lot of lawyers specialize in one area of the law. My practice focuses on one distinct area of the law. Consumer Law. This specialization allows me to study and constantly research and stay up to date with my particular area of the law. In fact, all attorneys have an obligation to keep up with changes in the law. Make sure to ask your attorney whether he or she specializes in an area of law before you decide to hire them.


How much do lawyers charge?

Attorney fees can cost a pretty penny depending on what type of case you have and how much time an attorney will spend on your case. In our representation in foreclosure matters, we help our clients afford attorney representation by billing our clients a low monthly fee. Always ask potential attorneys to explain their fees and billing practices prior to engaging their services.
