Call me if you need help in any of the above-referenced areas. I will do everyting I can for you and in many cases (but not all - for example litigation is normally done on a hourly rate) I can structure a low flat rate fee so you know exactly what you will be paying. A large legal bill is not a surprise most people have any interest in. There may be times when I am willing to take a contingency fee case (ex. in an eminent domain case), or a hybrid of hourly fees/contingency. Contact me for details and let's see what we can work out in your case. (877) 276-5084.
