Why don’t I provide free consultations?

I spent 7 years in college and have practiced family law since 1974. My words and advice are what I sell. I have always believed that nothing is free and, also, that you get what you pay for. It is nearly impossible for an attorney who practices quality family law to spend 15 or 20 minutes with someone and provide them with competent legal advice that relates to their particular circumstances. In order to provide competent legal advice an attorney must have substantial and significant information. To acquire this information takes a great deal of time.

If anyone wants to meet me and find out who I am, my experience and to just sort of “get a feel” that’s okay, that’s free and will only take 20 minutes or so. I have found, over the years, that most people are desperately in need of “wanting to know what will happen”. This is the kind of information that I like to provide but for which a fee will be charged.
