About My Fees

We offer a free initial telephone consultation to analyze your legal situation and determine if we can provide services and a strategy to assist you. At times, the initial phone consultation may result in us helping you to provide social service programs that would best fit your needs - a solution that does not require legal representation. The phone consultation may also result in me advising you that retaining an attorney might be a good solution for you. During the consultation, I will discuss your financial situation and provide you with a sliding scale fee hourly rate and retainer amount if you choose to use Cooper Law, LLC.
