Online Consultation and Communications

Online Consultation and Communications

ABOUT ONLINE CONSULTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS  

The attorneys at Forbes Barrentine Law strongly recommend an email-centric approach to communication for the benefit of their clients. This methodology has distinct advantages compared to communication by phone or video. An email exchange provides a written record of communication, document exchanges, and typically saves time and money for clients. Follow up calls and in office appointments are also available, but initial communication through email is recommended for most legal issues.

All initial consultations, unless otherwise stated, are paid consultations. Initial consultations almost always require document review and legal advice. Our team serves many clients, and our caseload does not allow for free attorney time. We appreciate your understanding. Free consultations for general counsel services are available upon request. Your initial consultation will be completely confidential.

CONSULTATION FEES AND SERVICES 

All consultations begin at a one-hour minimum. Our attorneys will provide a quote for the consultation based on the time needed to complete the initial review of your case based on the information sent in the initial email. Below are the hourly rates for Forbes Barrentine Law attorneys. Flat fees are available in many cases and will be offered during the initial consultation if appropriate.
