What’s It Like To Visit Our Office?

It’s easy for us to forget that not everyone is in a law firm every day (or even occasionally or ever, for that matter!).  We’ve heard we can be a fairly intimidating group to go see, so we wanted to break the ice for you and let you know what to expect when you visit our firm for an initial divorce or child custody and support consultation.

When you arrive you will be greeted by Katie, our legal assistant.  We like to make every effort to keep you comfortable, so we will offer you a beverage and show you to our conference room.  The attorney will be notified of your arrival and will join you shortly (sometimes breaking away from a phone conversation can take a minute, and we hope you understand that we will give you the same focused attention when you become our client).

During your consultation, you will go over your specific situation with the attorney.  You’ll have time for questions and he’ll have answers for you (hopefully, and if not, he’ll find them!).  If you feel that you are ready to move forward in hiring the firm to begin your divorce or child custody and support matter he will review the documents and information we will need to begin with you.  Our initial consultations are free, but if you are ready to move forward with your matter Katie will be able to accept payment from you that day to open your case.

After your half-hour consultation, we will follow up with you in the next few days to see if you have any remaining questions or concerns.  At that point the ball is in your court to let us know any additional help you require.  We will be available to help when you are ready!  We do our best to be on the not-so-scary end of the “intimidating offices” spectrum, and we hope you visit us to see what we mean!  In fact, one of our clients recently wrote us a thank you letter and stated, “You didn’t act like normal lawyers at all.”  We take that as a great compliment.
