Hello! We look forward to meeting you.

Option for Video Consultation
As an alternative, if you want us to review documents or discuss the situation more deeply, you can choose a video consultation instead. We would spend an hour in advance to privately review the most important papers and then meet you by Zoom or MS Teams for the actual appointment (also one hour) to share our thoughts and hear your feedback. The fee for that combined service is $400.
We strongly urge this solution if you are up against a serious deadline, approaching a trial or temporary orders hearing, or want to appeal a final judgment (see directly below). Free advice is great, but not if it means running out of time before we can have a deeper conversation that might have made a difference.
If you choose the video conference, complete the same form on this website and select a date and time (when you are transported to the Calendly site) as if you had decided on a phone call. That way, at least, you get onto our calendar! Just make sure you also click the option here to promote your appointment to a video conference. That way, Tawsha (our office manager) and I will know to help you pick a special time for the full hour.
* Special Note for Appeals from a Trial Judgment
We especially do not recommend a free phone call if you plan to challenge a new, final judgment in the Arizona Court of Appeals. It almost always ends badly, mostly because the filing deadline is so short and cannot be extended. That makes it almost impossible to (i) chat on the phone, (ii) learn enough even to suspect you may have a good case, (iii) only then schedule a full video conference, with document review, to make sure of it, and (iv) still have enough time after that to examine the trial transcript or courtroom recording—all before your deadline arrives.
Whichever you choose, though, keep a close eye on your appellate deadline! That is usually 30 calendar days from when the judgment was filed, but it can be as few as 15 days in some types of appeals, such as juvenile court. The notice of appeal itself is not complicated and does not involve legal analysis; you simply script two or three sentences to announce your intentions and identify the order you plan to challenge. But if you miss that deadline, you are almost certainly finished.
Reaching Us Later
If you need to reschedule or share news, you are welcome to call or email us. Just remember that, for ethical reasons, we have to be careful about ongoing email threads or back-and-forth voice messaging when there is no attorney/client relationship yet. Our formal representation cannot begin until after the consultation, when we have all approved a written service agreement.
Thanks for understanding!
