Consultation Process for Criminal (and other) Cases

* this article was updated on August 2, 2024




When you book a consultation I may ask you to send me documents prior to the appointment, such as a paper you may have received from the police or court telling you of your criminal charge and next court date. Or previous correspondence you may have had with the federal authorities regarding your legal matter. Or relevant emails to which you have access. Or a copy of the government application with which you need help. I'll let you know what to consider giving me in advance if you are comfortable doing so, or to bring to the consultation.

And I may send you my complementary Client Kit, which contains useful information and resources.

At our meeting, whether in person, by phone, or virtually, I will help you define your legal problem, explain the relevant procedures, offer solutions, and describe further steps you could decide to take. Already know what you want to have happen? Great! I will try to make that happen, or find an even better solution.

With over thirty years of providing legal advice and representation, I've gained experience in many types of law. There is a reason even other lawyers hire me for themselves or refer me to their family members. Please go ahead and ask me your questions - I'll let you know if I can help.

Special features:

Will you need a little more time to process the information we cover at a consultation? Let me know and I'll book you an extra 15 minutes for no extra charge.

Appointments available within 24 hours, even on weekends, for no extra charge.

In some circumstances, I can come to you.
