FAQ's

1. Do you provide free consultations? If not, how much do you charge?

We want to get to know you and understand your unique situation. We offer an initial hour attorney (not paralegal) consultation for $150.00. There is no obligation to retain after this consultation, and we can answer most, if not all of your questions during this initial meeting. Most people feel better about their situation after speaking with the attorney and being informed of their rights. Should you decide to retain our services there are no future consultation fees, you are only charged an hourly rate against your retainer. For more fee information please contact our office.

2. In what counties do you go to Court?

I can practice law throughout the state. However, I focus my practice on Pinal County and Maricopa County. As a convenience there is also a satellite office in Apache Junction to file documents for Pinal County, instead of having to go to Florence every time something needs to be filed.

3. What is your hourly fee?

The hourly fee depends on what type of case you have. Please contact the office to discuss the fees in detail.

4. How long have you been practicing family law?

Since 1994, over 15 years.

5. Are you an aggressive attorney when it comes to going after the other party?

I zealously advocate for my clients. I work hard and focus on getting a successful outcome in every case.

6. Are you a good communicator? Will you respond to me quickly with questions?

Absolutely! This office thrives on communication with clients and potential clients. My legal assistant and I do everything possible to ensure that all calls/emails are returned in a timely manner, as we are aware time is critical in most cases. If we are unable to retain you as a client due to scheduling conflicts or a practice area we don’t practice, we do our best to guide you in the right direction to an attorney that may be able to help you.

7. Does your office have a notary? Is there a charge for notarized documents

Yes. Both myself and my legal assistant are notaries. There is a very minimal fee for non-clients to have documents notarized. If you are a current client you may have documents notarized at our office anytime at no charge.

8. What forms of payment are accepted for consultations and/or retainer fees?

We accept cash, personal checks, money orders, cashier’s checks and the following major debit/credit cards: Visa, MasterCard & Discover.

9. What are your hours of operation? Are you open on weekends?

We are open daily Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., taking lunch between Noon and 1:00 p.m. We are closed on the weekends and major holidays. Should you need to contact us outside business hours please contact the office regarding special arrangements.

10. Do you have many recurring clients?

Definitely! The great thing about being in practice since 1994 is that we are able to provide recurring services to clients, whether to update something that was previously prepared, or for an entirely different issue. We pride ourselves on providing professional and courteous services to our clients and building a strong relationship with all clients.
