Three steps. You decide at each one.
A straight first conversation
Call, text or book a time. Tell us what happened; we'll tell you honestly whether you have a matter worth pursuing — and whether we're the right firm for it.
A plan, in writing
What we'd do, how long it's likely to take and what it's likely to cost, before any work starts. Nothing moves until you say go.
We carry it from there
Negotiations, filings, the other side's lawyers, court. You get updates in plain language, in whatever way suits you.
