Call me, or write.
Either is fine. Whichever feels easier right now is the right one. If you get my voicemail, it’s because I’m with another client or in court. Leave your name and number and I’ll call you back by the end of the next business day.

parking, and which door
Write to me
Just the basics for now. I’ll call you to hear the rest.
Please don’t write out the details of your situation here yet. Until we’ve spoken, nothing you send makes me your lawyer, and I need to check first that I’m not already working for someone else in your case. A name, a way to reach you, and a sentence about what kind of help you need is plenty.
Thank you. I have your note, and I’ll call you by the end of the next business day. If you were served papers and your deadline is close, please call office phone number as well so I see it today.
That didn’t go through. It isn’t you. Please call office phone number instead, or email office email.
What happens after you reach out
I’ll call you back, usually the same day and never later than the next business day. It’ll be a short call: what’s happening, any deadlines, and whether this is something I handle.
If it is, we’ll set a time to meet, in my office or by video. first meeting: how long it is and what it costs
At that meeting, you tell me what happened, I ask a lot of questions, and before you leave I tell you what I think: your deadlines, your options, what I’d do next, and what it’s likely to cost.
Then you decide. There’s no pressure to hire me on the spot. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you, and I’ll try to point you toward someone who is.
What to bring to a first meeting
- Any court papers you’ve received or filed, with the date you got them
- Any existing orders: a decree, a parenting plan, a support order
- A recent pay stub and your last tax return
- A list of your questions, if you have one
If you can’t find something, come anyway. We’ll work out what’s missing together.
If you’re not safe at home, please put your safety first. Call 911 if you’re in danger now. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233, any hour. You can still call me afterward, and when you do, tell me it’s a safety matter so I know to move quickly.
