Fees

Free Consultation
Free consultations are generally limited to brief telephone discussions that help everyone understand the situation and what type and amount of work is actually needed. For example, a client may think they need a patent when what they really need is a trademark. Substantive discussions of legal issues and legal advice is not provided for free. One hour paid consultations held in-person or remotely via teleconference (e.g., Zoom) are a typical next step if the type of legal help needed is clear. - Credit Cards Accepted

Contingent Fees
Contingent fee agreements may be available in certain types of situations. Typically the client is expected to cover out-of-pocket case expenses. The contingent fee is typically applied to the net recovery (after case expenses are deducted). -
