We do not require a retainer. Fortunately, when the Pandemic hit us in March 2020, we had already been a paperless office for many years with two cloud based case management systems. However, the Pandemic propelled us to make many improvements to our client service protocols, retainer requirements, direct calendaring, electronic exchanges and remote systems being some examples. This has allowed our firm to concentrate more on client service and less on wasteful antiquated management systems. If you entrust us with your family law matter, you'll be in excellent hands.

You don’t know what they had for breakfast this morning.

 That’s one thing. Second thing is for every hour of trial, you’re going to pay your attorney four hours of trial preparation. It’s a very, very expensive operation and you don’t know what the outcome is going to be. So it’s always best to settle. If both parties feel that they equally stepped on, then it’s a good deal and you can take ownership of your deal.
