For any new client a one hour charge is nonrefundable. Fees must be paid up front. Once I have the names of the opposing parties and have done a conflicts check and you are approved, you may go Paypal or to my webstore (links for these below) and make the payment. Get confirmation of no conflict before paying any money which I will confirm for you. If there are documents to review, before the call, I will need a retainer sufficient to cover at least 2 hours ($275 X 2) and will charge fees incurred against the retainer. The one hour minimum still applies. [PLEASE NOTE: I don't open or download any unsolicited documents or files. No attorney-client privilege attaches until you are a client so do not send sensitive or confidential information.] On the consultation call, I estimate the time for additional services if requested, and require a retainer. I have been able to help thousands of people over the years to find solutions to their disputes and answer questions about what options are available given the facts and the situation. I consult with owners, board members, managers, and boards. I am one of the few (if perhaps the one and only) HOA attorneys in California that provides affordable consultations for owners. I would be pleased to assist you. I need some basic information. If you want assistance, scroll down for the form showing what I need.
