The initial consultation will generally result in one of four outcomes:

1. You and the attorney mutually agree to the terms of the representation as outlined in the 'engagement letter';
2. The attorney declines representation, based on a conflict of interest or other factor that prevents us from handling the matter;
3. The attorney refers you to another resource that is more appropriate for resolving your matter; or
4. You decide not to use the services of the attorney, for whatever personal reasons you may consider important.

If the result is an agreement to work together toward a resolution of your legal situation, we will request an initial deposit of money from you to get started on whatever is appropriate to move your situation along to a conclusion.
