Getting Started
Taking the first step is easier than you think.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before you reach out. Most people who contact us aren’t sure exactly what they need – they just know they need something. That’s exactly what we’re here for.
Here’s how the process works.
Step 1: Request Information
The first step is simple – submit a request through our website and we’ll send you everything you need to get to know our firm. You’ll learn about our services, our approach, and what it’s like to work with us – at your own pace, with no commitment required.
Step 2: The Discovery Call
After you submit your information request, a member of our team will follow up personally. This is a friendly, no-pressure conversation – a chance for us to learn a little more about your situation, answer any questions you have about our firm or services, and make sure we point you in the right direction. If a Personal Strategy Session with Jennifer makes sense for your needs, we’ll get that scheduled and make sure you know exactly what to expect before you arrive.
Step 3: Your Personal Strategy Session
The Personal Strategy Session is an in-depth, one-hour consultation with Jennifer. Together you’ll cover the specifics of your situation, learn about the law, the process, and your options, and evaluate your short- and long-term goals. By the end of your session, you’ll have a clear picture of what you need and exactly how we can help you get there.
Step 4: Moving Forward Together
Once you’ve decided to move forward, we get to work. Every matter we handle is approached with the same personal attention and care – whether we’re building a comprehensive estate plan, guiding you through probate, or handling a family law matter.
Before we begin, we’ll make sure you have a clear understanding of the scope of work, the process, and what to expect. We work on a flat-fee basis for most of our services, so you’ll know what to expect financially before we get started.
Have a Question First?
Not quite ready to request information? That’s okay. You’re welcome to reach out directly with questions or to find out more about a specific service. We’re happy to point you in the right direction.
