Questions people ask first

Yes. Call (626) 555-0150 or use the contact form. Rosa will take a few details and run a short conflict check, then schedule a consultation with the attorney whose practice fits your matter.

Before an attorney can discuss your matter we have to confirm the firm has never represented the other party or anyone whose interests conflict with yours. It takes a day at most. It protects you: it means nothing you tell us could ever be used against you by someone we also advised.

We don't publish fees because every matter is different. At the consultation the attorney will tell you how the firm bills for your kind of matter, what the retainer would be, and a realistic range for the whole thing. Everything is set out in a written agreement before any work begins, and you'll never see a charge on an invoice that wasn't explained first.

Rosa will tell you the consultation fee and format when she schedules it. Most consultations are 45 to 60 minutes with an attorney, in person on Colorado Boulevard or by video.

Any court papers you've received, a short timeline of what has happened and when, and the questions that are keeping you up at night. Don't worry about financial documents for the first meeting; we'll tell you what we need after.

It depends on the matter and on the other side. At the consultation the attorney will give you a realistic range for your situation, and will tell you honestly if a settlement or mediation is likely to be faster and less expensive than court.

You'll work with your attorney. Paralegals help with documents, but the attorney you meet at the consultation is the attorney who handles your matter and returns your calls, the same day.

Messages left after 5:30pm or at the weekend are returned by Rosa on the next business day, usually first thing in the morning. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.

No. Until we've met, cleared conflicts and signed an agreement, nothing we say is legal advice and we are not your attorneys. That is for your protection as much as ours. We can tell you about the firm and get you scheduled; the advice starts in the room.
