When you schedule a consultation with Curly Girl Law, you are not meeting with a paralegal or case manager. Instead, you will meet with a licensed and experienced attorney who can explain the legal issues implicated by your situation. Our consultations are intended to be educational opportunities for the prospective client and not a “sales closing” for us. We believe that initial consultations should function solely for the benefit of the prospective client and provide them with insight and knowledge about the law, available remedies, potential outcomes, risks, and costs associated with their legal issue. In other words, the prospective client should receive value, and not a sales pitch, from a consultation. Additionally, scheduling and attending a consultation with a prospective client costs us. By charging a consultation fee, we minimize the financial impact of expending time considering a prospective client’s legal matter when there is no guarantee that an attorney-client relationship will ever materialize.
