When you contact us, you will be asked to provide basic information about your legal situation. Then, we will search for an attorney with relevant experience to assist you.

Once an attorney has been found who is interested in discussing your case with you, we will call you back, usually within 2–3 business days, and provide you with the attorney's information. [If your matter is urgent, let us know and we will do our best to find you an attorney in time].
