Answers:
1. What are your office hours?
A. Our standard business hours are from 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Appointments can be scheduled outside of these hours if necessary.

2. How do I make an appointment to speak to an attorney?
A. Please call us at 302-658-2100 to schedule an appointment. When you call, please be prepared to provide a brief description of the matter you would like to discuss with us, including the names of any people involved, if applicable.

3. If I am homebound, or in the hospital, would an attorney still be able to meet with me?
A. Yes, we can make those arrangements.

4. What should I do to prepare for my first appointment?
A. In order to make your meeting with us as productive as possible, you should: (1) Make notes of information relevant to the matter on which you want us to represent you, such as the company’s name and shareholders for an incorporation, or your major assets and beneficiaries for a will. (2) Think about what you want us to accomplish for you. For example, if you are the executor of an estate, do you just need some basic guidance from us, or do you want us to do most of the work? (3) Bring to the appointment any documents that might be relevant. (4) Think of any questions you have for us.

5. Instead of calling and coming in for an appointment, can I send you a letter or e-mail with all my pertinent information, then follow up by telephone?
A. No, because the ethical rules governing the legal profession in Delaware impose certain requirements and conditions on the attorney-client relationship in order to protect both existing and potential clients. Because of these considerations, we cannot accept certain information until we first determine that it is appropriate for you to send it to us. To initiate a request for representation, call us at 302-658-2100. If you would like for us to call you instead, you can use the Contact Form to send us your name and phone number, and someone from our office will call. Please note that sending us a letter or e-mail, or reading this website, does not make you a client of our firm.

6. How will I be charged?
A. The billing method will be specified in a written agreement with you at the time you hire us. The agreement will also address treatment of charges that may arise for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred for such items as court-imposed filing fees, photocopy costs, and messenger expenses. The manner in which you will be billed for our services depends upon the nature of the services we provide to you. In most cases, billing is based on the number of hours we spend working on your issue multiplied by a standard rate. Some services that we provide are instead billed on a “flat fee” basis, meaning that there is one lump sum price to carry out the task for which we are hired. Some examples of flat fee matters are simple estate planning, routine corporate and LLC formation, and residential real estate settlements and refinances. We are also willing to discuss alternative fee arrangements. For more information, please call us at 302-658-2100.

7. Can you take my case on a contingency fee basis?
A. We do not usually accept cases on a contingency fee basis.

8. Is parking readily available near your office?
A. We have ample free parking, in either the above ground lot located in front of our building or the covered garage located under the building. Please click here for directions to our office.
