What are your rates?

Our rates vary depending upon the nature of the legal matter and the complexity of the case. Generally, we charge an hourly rate. There are two (2) broad exceptions: first, for personal injury, auto accident, wrongful death and medical malpractice actions, we charge a contingency fee. This means that we earn our fee from a percentage of the recovery. If there's no recovery, we do not earn a fee. The second exception is we typically charge a flat rate for basic estate planning documents including a Last Will and Testament, general business Power of Attorney, Living Will and Healthcare Power of Attorney. Upon calling our office, we can give you a better indication of whether a retainer would be required as well as the approximate fees involved in handling your legal matter.

My legal matters are private. Can I be sure that our discussions are kept confidential?

Absolutely. Our conversations are protected by the attorney/client privilege. The attorneys and staff are bound to protect the confidentiality of the conversations and information provided to our law firm.

What payment arrangements do you accept?

We accept debit cards, credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express), personal checks, and of course, cash. On some types of cases, installment payment plans may be available. Please inquire.

What are your office hours?

Our general office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Weekend and evening appointments are available. In case of an emergency after hours, call our 24 hour emergency line and you will be connected directly to an attorney. That number is 937-760-4357 (or 937-760-HELP).

Do you have a phone number available for after hour emergency phone calls?

Yes, please call our 24 hour emergency phone number at 937-760-4357 (or 937-760-HELP).

Do you offer a free initial consultation?

In some areas we do. If you are coming to consult with us regarding estate planning, administering an estate, a criminal, traffic or DUI/OVI matter, a personal injury, auto accident, wrongful death or medical malpractice matter, there is no charge for the initial consultation. For other areas, including divorce, custody, family law, juvenile law, business, civil litigation, or real estate, there is a discounted fee for the initial consultation. For more details, please call us.

Do you ever make home visits?

Our lawyers do visit clients or potential clients at their home, in the hospital, nursing homes or other locations as may be convenient. If this is a concern, call us and we will try to accommodate you.
