What you can expect, with no surprises
The first contact is brief and free: we check that there is no conflict of interest and arrange the consultation through the method and at the time you tell us are safe.
You tell us the basics
A short form, a call, a text, or WhatsApp. Don't include sensitive details. We'll talk about those if we schedule a consultation.
We contact you in a way that feels safe to you
We'll use the method and time you identify as safe. This first contact is not legal advice and does not create an obligation for you to hire us.
Legal consultation
We review the information you provide before the consultation. We discuss practical legal options and explain our services and fees in writing, so you can consider your next step at your own pace.
$125Cost of the legal consultation. Requesting guidance or attending the consultation does not oblige you to hire us.
How we treat you
We practice law with a trauma-informed approach: we understand how violence affects memory, communication, and decision-making. That is why we weigh options, explain the process, and respect your pace and your decisions.
