How does the initial consultation work?

Your first consultation is completely free and confidential. You'll meet with a senior attorney to discuss your legal matter, review your options, and determine the best path forward. There's no obligation after the meeting.

What are your legal fees and billing structure?

We offer flexible fee arrangements including hourly billing, flat fees, and contingency arrangements depending on the nature of your case. We are fully transparent about costs from day one — no surprise billing.

Is everything I share truly confidential?

Absolutely. Everything discussed with our attorneys is protected by attorney-client privilege — one of the strongest legal protections that exists. Your information will never be shared with any third party.

How long will my case take?

Case timelines vary significantly depending on complexity, court schedules, and the opposing party. We provide honest, realistic timelines from the start and keep you updated on any developments that affect your case.

Do you handle cases outside New York?

Yes. We have offices in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, and we handle matters in federal courts across the United States. For international matters, we collaborate with a global network of affiliated firms.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards, bank wire transfers, and ACH payments. For qualifying clients, we also offer structured payment plans. All payment arrangements are discussed and agreed upon before engagement.
