We offer payment plans because we weren’t always attorneys. Everyone of the attorneys have a background of blue collar or non-attorney working for a living backgrounds. Most of your local choices went straight from high school then immediately to college and then right away to law school. While that’s fine, it doesn’t provide experience of living paycheck to paycheck. We remember what it’s like to struggle. And when things like this happen, they never happen when you’re flush, right? We get it. It’s not simply, pay is all up front or shove off, we work with folks because, again, we exist to serve you. It’s not the other way around.

Want to talk with us before you hire us? Great. We want that too. It’s really a two way interview. You’re looking us over. We are looking you over too. We will only take your case if we truly believe we can help more than the next guy. Our reputation is enhanced when we get outsized results. That’s why we are careful in what cases we take. A lot of local guys only have one criteria: does the check clear. We want to help you, not merely take your money. Proof of point, calm us for a free consultation. We will talk your ears off about your case. You can likewise talk our ears off too. We welcome that. Details win cases. Lack of details loses cases. The other guys might “put you on the clock” only giving you a free initial conversation for like 10 or 20 minutes but if you run over that… We don’t work like that. We work for you.
