Answers to common questions about getting started.
How do I request a consultation?
Call 213.264.0597 or use the contact section to prepare an email. Include your preferred contact method and a brief, non-confidential description of your question. Availability must be confirmed by the firm.
What should I prepare?
Bring a short timeline, the names of the people or organizations involved, relevant documents, and any notices with dates or deadlines. Keep original documents safe and prepare copies when possible.
Is an initial consultation free?
Please ask the firm about consultation fees, billing arrangements, and the scope of any proposed work before scheduling. No fee arrangement is established through this website.
Does contacting the firm make me a client?
No. A website inquiry or AI conversation does not create an attorney-client relationship. Representation must be separately agreed with the firm. Avoid sending sensitive information before that process is complete.
What if my matter is urgent?
Do not rely on this website, email, or the AI assistant for urgent deadlines. Call the firm and promptly seek qualified legal assistance. For an immediate threat to safety, call emergency services.
Can the AI assistant give legal advice?
The assistant provides general information and may make mistakes. It is not an attorney, cannot assess your case, and cannot confirm representation or appointments. Verify important information directly with the firm.
