Before contacting us

Useful answers, up front.

Does an inquiry create a relationship?

No. We first complete fit and conflicts checks, agree scope and confirm engagement in writing.

What should I send?

Begin with the decision, general topic, jurisdiction and relevant deadline. Do not send confidential records until invited through an agreed secure channel.

Do you handle urgent filings?

Availability varies. Never rely on a website inquiry for a limitation period, hearing, emergency or other time-critical action.

Start with the decision in front of you.
