What happens in an initial consultation?
The first conversation is a chance to explain what brought you here, ask questions, and see whether the office is a good fit. If it makes sense to proceed, you can discuss the proposed scope of work and fees before making a decision.
Do I need to bring any documents?
A brief timeline and a list of questions are a good start. If you have relevant agreements, notices, or court papers, mention them when you get in touch so the office can tell you what to bring and how to share it securely.
