What will my attorney expect from me?
Be honest and provide all necessary information to help your case. Even if it is not favorable to you. Be patient with the process and with your attorney. Understand that this process is not open and close and will take time.
What can I expect from my attorney?

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
You will complete an intake form with my paralegal, who will then schedule you for a consultation. We will spend about an hour with you discussing your case. Once you have decided to hire me, we will begin working on your case immediately.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with all types of customers. I have done modifications, enforcements, divorces, adoptions, terminations, surrogacy, and other family law cases.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Ask questions, like - how will you communicate with me? - how soon after hiring you will you start my case? - will I receive all my filed pleadings in my case? - what are your qualifications? - what is your experience? - how long will this take?
