Minnesota Consumer Attorney

Schedule a Consultation

Please be aware that for certain cases, I offer free consultations to discuss your case. Before signing up for a paid consultation, please contact me to evaluate your case and determine if a paid consultation is right for you. For many situations, a paid consultation is the first and only step that a consumer needs in order to resolve an issue on their own.

For example:

  • If you are seeking advice regarding an upcoming conciliation court hearing
  • If you would to discuss a proposed settlement offer
  • If you are attempting to handle on a legal matter on your own, but need a little guidance.

In those types of situations, a paid consultation may be ideal for you.

To schedule a consultation:

  1. Contact me to confirm that a consultation is appropriate for your situation.
  2. Read the consultation agreement;
  3. Pay the $150 retainer fee;
  4. Gather any documents you want me to review and send via email.
