A personal introductionTaking the first step
Contact the office with your name, how to reach you, and the general type of legal matter.
The office can arrange a conversation and explain what information to prepare.
Discuss whether the firm can assist and the scope of any proposed representation.
A legal concern rarely stays in one part of your life. It can affect your plans, your livelihood, and the people who depend on you. The starting point is understanding both the matter itself and the concerns behind it.
Use your consultation to explain what happened, ask the questions you have been carrying, and discuss what you would like to understand before making another decision. The office can explain whether your matter is a fit for the firm and what a proposed engagement would involve.
You do not need to arrive with every answer. A short timeline, the documents you have received, and a list of questions can give the conversation a useful focus. If the matter involves a contract, notice, or existing case, let the office know when you arrange your appointment.
Mention any court dates or other approaching deadlines when you call. Please ask the office how to share documents securely rather than uploading or emailing sensitive information through the website.
Call (919) 490-1855 or use the Contact page to send your name, contact details, and the general subject of your inquiry. The office can discuss availability and explain what to prepare. Please call directly about time-sensitive matters.
The firm’s listed practice areas include criminal defense, criminal litigation, business law, contract law, administrative law, and family law. If you are unsure where your question belongs, briefly describe it to the office so it can determine whether the firm may be able to assist.
Ask the office which documents are relevant to your appointment. Useful starting points may include notices, agreements, court paperwork, and a written timeline. Keep original documents and note any dates shown on them. Bring your questions as well as the paperwork.
No. A website inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship or confirm that the firm has accepted your matter. The office must discuss and agree to the scope and terms of representation before an engagement begins. Do not rely on a website submission to meet a deadline.
