I'm selective about the cases I take, and it starts here. This form takes about five minutes. The first section is a conflict check: I can't read anything else until I know I'm not already on the other side. Please don't include confidential details beyond what's asked. Submitting this form doesn't make me your lawyer. Case reviews are $750, and the minimum retainer for a case I take on is $5,000.

1. Conflict check

Before I can read anything about your situation, I have to confirm I'm not already involved on the other side. List the full names of the other people and businesses in this dispute, including a spouse, a company, or a contractor's business name. Names only here.

Full names of the other people and businesses involved (other party, their spouse or partner, any company or contractor name)

2. What kind of problem

Which of these is closest to your situation?

3. Where it stands

Has anything been filed in court?

Court and docket number, if you have them

Any deadline, hearing date or filing date you know of

4. The short version

Three or four sentences. What happened, and what you want to happen. Skip names of witnesses and anything you'd be uncomfortable with the other side reading. The details come later, once I've cleared conflicts.

What happened, and what outcome are you looking for?

What have you already tried? (a demand letter, mediation, another lawyer, talking to the other side)

5. The fee

I don't offer free consultations. A case review is $750, and the minimum retainer if I take the case is $5,000, billed hourly in tenths against that retainer. The case review is where I tell you plainly what you have and what it will cost.

I understand the $750 case review fee and the $5,000 minimum retainer, and I'm ready to move forward on that basis.

Yes

How did you find me?

6. Documents

Optional now, required before the case review. Upload the one document that matters most: the contract, the court order or complaint, the will or trust, the demand letter.

Upload the key document, if you have it handy
