Getting legal help shouldn’t mean wondering what happens next or what it will cost. We’ll walk you through the process, provide your terms in writing before work begins, so you can decide whether we’re the right fit.

What Happens When You Reach Out
1. Schedule Your Free Consultation
Book a free 15-minute consultation with one of our healthcare attorneys. You’ll tell us what’s going on and ask questions about working together, and we’ll learn whether your matter is a good fit for our firm.
2. We Discuss Your Situation
During the conversation, we’ll talk through your goals, the type of legal help you need, and what the next steps may look like. The consultation is about understanding your situation and explaining how we work, not giving legal advice.
3. We Send a Quote
If we’re the right fit, we’ll follow up with a quote before any work begins. For most projects, you’ll receive a flat-fee quote that outlines the scope of work and the cost. If your matter must be billed hourly, such as a dispute or audit response, you’ll receive a written engagement with the applicable fee terms.
4. You Decide When to Move Forward
Nothing begins until you approve the written terms. Once you’re ready, we’ll schedule the work, gather any information we need, and get started.
How Our Fees Work
Most healthcare legal needs can be handled for a flat fee. This means you know the cost before work begins, rather than wondering how much time a matter may take.
Some types of legal work cannot reasonably be priced this way because their scope depends on factors outside anyone’s control. Disputes, audit responses, and similar issues often require hourly billing because the amount of work can change as the matter develops.
Even when legal work is billed hourly, you will receive written terms before work begins. These terms will explain how fees are handled, what billing method applies, and what to expect. Our approach to billing basics is simple: you should understand the terms before deciding whether to move forward.
The choice between flat fees and hourly billing depends on the type of legal work involved and whether the scope can be defined in advance. When a matter has a clear scope, a flat fee can provide predictability. When the scope may change, hourly billing allows the work to adapt as your situation develops.
No matter how your legal work is billed, you will know the terms before deciding whether to move forward.
What to Expect From Your Consultation
A lot of people worry that a “free consultation” is really a sales call. That’s not how we approach it.
Your consultation is a conversation with a healthcare attorney about your situation, the type of legal help you may need, and whether our firm is the right fit for your practice. If we can help, we’ll explain what working together would look like. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you that too.
The consultation is free, there’s no obligation to hire us, and no work begins unless you choose to move forward under written terms.
What Happens After You Book
After your consultation, we’ll review the information you shared and prepare your written terms. You’ll usually have your written quote within two business days for matters that can be quoted on a flat-fee basis. More complex matters may take longer, particularly if we need additional information before we can define the scope.
Once you approve the quote or engagement, we’ll confirm the next steps, let you know what documents or information we need, and begin work on your matter. Throughout the process, you’ll know who is handling your matter and what comes next.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the consultation cost anything?
No. Your initial 15-minute consultation is free. It’s an opportunity to discuss your situation with a healthcare attorney, learn whether we’re the right fit, and understand how we would approach working together. There is no obligation to hire us after the consultation.
How do flat fees work?
For most legal matters, we’ll provide a written flat-fee quote before work begins. The quote explains the scope of the work and the total cost, allowing you to decide whether you’d like to move forward before any legal work starts.
What if my matter can’t be handled for a flat fee?
Some matters, including disputes and audit responses, cannot be priced with a flat fee because the amount of work depends on how the matter develops. In those situations, you’ll receive a written engagement that explains the billing terms before work begins.
How long does it take to receive a quote?
You’ll usually receive your written quote within two business days after your consultation. Some matters require additional information before we can prepare a quote, so timing may vary depending on the complexity of your situation.
When does work actually begin?
Work begins only after you’ve reviewed and approved your written quote or engagement. You’ll know the terms before deciding whether to move forward.
What should I have ready for my consultation?
It’s helpful to have a general overview of your situation and any key documents you think may be relevant. You don’t need to prepare anything formal. The consultation is simply a chance for us to understand your matter and discuss whether we’re the right fit.
