initial consultation

Free means free

For an initial no obligation consultation, you will never get a bill for us if you have current pending charges or if you are subject to criminal investigation. 

No obligation free consultation

You have no obligation to us and we have no obligation to you after this initial chat. If you like us and we like you, then you can choose to do business with us. If not, we wish you well. We will follow up with you to see if you have any other questions or comments unless you ask us not to or you hire another attorney. We just want to help.

What it’s like to contact us

Upon calling our office for your initial consultation, you will first talk to one of our intake specialists who will get your side of the story. He or she will ask you some important questions so that the lawyers will be informed as possible to help you. Then, you will be transferred over to one of our highly qualified attorneys who will give you a free consultation. Straight talk. If we can help, we will help. If we can’t we will tell you. No BS.

Talking with an attorney for free

During this initial consult, the lawyer will ask you more detailed questions and listen. We put listening first. We will include some that may have been asked by the intake specialist just to get more details or confirm what you said. The reason for the limited repeating of some questions is we want to make sure that we fully understand what the facts of your case are. A lawyer that is more informed of what happened is a lawyer that can represent you more effectively.

How to get ready for the free, no cost, no obligation criminal consultation

The most important step you can make is the first one. Contact us. There are many ways you can. Web form. Telephone. Email. Facebook. Video consult. You name it, we can do it.

Second, grab up all of your paperwork and have it with you for you initial consultation. We can look up 90% of things on the computer but we may want to point out specifics in your paperwork. So, it makes sense to have it.

Third, get to a dedicated space and have some dedicated time. We have a saying “Details win cases. Lack of details loses cases.” The more information you give us the better. It’s smart to be in a mood to concentrate on what you mean to say and what we say to you. It’s best to have no distractions.

Fourth, please be on time. We respect you by being on time, ready and focused. Please return us the same respect.

What you say to us remains confidential

An initial chat (consultation) does not make us your attorney. Paying the quoted fee and signing the fee agreement does. That is the only way. But, whatever you tell us or our staff at the initial intake or initial attorney chat is confidential. It is covered by the sacred and near impossible to pierce attorney-client privilege. You must be blunt and truthful with us.

How we can help

When you call us, you will get a free, no obligation initial consultation with a criminal lawyer over the phone or by video. The purpose of this initial chat is for you to see if you want to hire the attorney. Any of our highly professional and experienced attorneys would be happy to take your case and defend you to the best of their abilities, if we can help. During your free consultation, they will give you their opinion on the likely avenues that we can use to defend you.

This is not all sugar-coating and rainbows. We are ethically obligated to honestly tell you what may prove difficult for your defense.

Our lawyers here at the McShane firm love a challenge, however.

No matter how dire your situation may seem to you, the attorneys here are willing to fight for you. We thrive on difficult situations. So really, there is no reason for you not to call. It is your right to choose which attorney you want to represent you in this trying time. That is why you should contact us now to get your absolutely free consultation with The McShane Firm.
