Can I receive a consultation online or by phone?
Yes. Consultations are available by phone, online, and at our office. Your location does not prevent you from receiving initial legal assistance.
Which documents should I prepare for the consultation?
Bring or send everything related to the case, including a summons, notice of suspicion, court orders, records, agreements, and correspondence. If you do not have any documents, simply describe the situation. The lawyer will tell you what should be requested.
