Like most law firms, we offer full representation to clients upon payment of an up-front retainer. But unlike most law firms, we don't believe that clients unable to afford an initial retainer should be denied access to high-quality legal services. This is why we also offer unbundled "pay-as-you-go" legal services at an affordable flat-fee.. With unbundled legal services, a/k/a “limited scope representation,” an attorney and client agree that the attorney will handle some, but not all, aspects of a client’s legal matter. The client is responsible for handling all other aspects of his or her own case for which the attorney has not been retained. This allows the client to choose the level and scope of representation he or she desires, and provides predictable control over the cost of various legal services. Most significantly, with unbundled legal services, instead of charging an up-front retainer for full legal representation, clients can pay for individual services as they are needed at a reasonable flat-fee rate.. Whether you desire one of our many unbundled legal service options, or full representation, we have an option for you. Please contact our office to learn more about the full list of legal services we provide, and to discover our current flat-fee rates.

Lead a team of 13 attorneys providing professional service helping people get Social Security disability benefits for every type of physical or mental impairment.. While there has been a lot of misinformation to the effect that these benefits are too easy to get, the opposite is true. One example - just agreed to represent a decent man who has struggled with Tourette's for years, super anxious, involuntarily swears early and often , can't be around people ,nonexistent stress tolerance, gets written up and loses jobs where he was sheltered by a friend. The level of disability is not a close call and yet I know and had to tell him it will take 24 months. And SSA has already denied him once. How does he survive ? Trust me, we are passionate because we see what the system does to people .
