Telephone Consultation Agreement
(Current as of January 27, 1999)

Thank you for your interest in our office. This office charges $100 for a telephone consultation for up to 30 minutes and $175 for up to 60 minutes. In order for our office to schedule a date and time for a telephone consultation, you will need to complete this Telephone Consultation Agreement and deposit with our office a retainer deposit. After the receipt of the Telephone Consultation Agreement and retainer deposit, you will be contacted to set a mutually agreeable time for the telephone consultatiion.

This Telephone Consultation Agreement is a modified version of our Attorney-Client Retainer Agreement. It is designed to limit the scope of our services to just the telephone consultation. Therefore, if further consultation is necessary, you will not be obligated to use our office. Similarly, if you would like our office to become your attorneys of record, then a more comprehensive Retainer Agreement must be executed.
