Consultations
We offer telephone or personal consultations. The Client Information Questionnaire form must be completed before your scheduled consultation. The information submitted on this form will be kept strictly confidential. Please answer all questions as completely as possible. Our fee for consultations is $350 per hour on a pro-rated basis. All consultations must be paid by cash, ATM or credit card/credit card check, unless Ms. Cummings is retained at the consultation, in which case personal checks are accepted. Telephone consultations must be paid in advance by credit card. Retainer fees cannot be quoted over the phone, because the initial retainer can vary greatly depending on the complexity of your case.
What to bring to your consultation:
- Client Information Questionnaire all filled out
- Most recent tax return and pay statements for you and the opposing party if there will be support issues involved
- Any court documents you have already received from the other party, and/or any court documents which have already been filed on your behalf
- If you are seeking or opposing a modification of custody or support orders, make sure to bring a copy of the current order and any/all custody mediation reports or evaluations
- If you are beginning a dissolution or legal separation, it is a good idea to have a general idea of your assets and liabilities
