To learn more about your legal situation and determine whether we're a good fit, we offer two discounted initial consultation options.

Zoom or in-person Consultation - $300 for up to 1 hour.
Business Assessment:
Up to 1 hour of intellectual property and business advising for $300. We’ll ask you to sign a limited engagement agreement and we’ll offer legal advice. Our goal is to identify your biggest business risks and create a legal plan to help you reduce or eliminate those risks.
