Consultations at Justin Tucker Law

Your first consultation with our law firm is important for starting a professional relationship and making sure you're prepared for legal help. Our focused, client-centered process is set up to help you understand your legal needs and see how we can assist you.

In this first, in-person meeting, you will speak with Mr. Tucker about the details of your case, what matters to you, and possible legal plans. Often, this detailed consultation can give you a better understanding of your situation.

Before your appointment, write down any questions you have. During the consultation, you'll talk about your case, and Mr. Tucker will ask questions in order to give you specific advice. At the end, you'll have time to ask more questions. The consultation usually lasts up to 30 minutes, so being prepared is helpful. We appreciate your time and ask you to respect ours too.

What you discuss with Mr. Tucker is private. Your conversation stays confidential, which helps him give you appropriate, individualized guidance. Be sure to be honest about your situation. To keep your privacy, we ask that only the person needing legal advice comes to the meeting. The attorney-client relationship is only for the length of this meeting, unless you sign our retainer contract. Mr. Tucker can only represent one person in a family law case, not a couple or family group.

We charge a non-refundable fee for consultations, which does not

apply to future services. We charge this fee for two main reasons:

our professional time is valuable, and complicated issues like divorce

and custody need careful, strategic thinking, which justifies a fair fee.

This fee also shows that you are serious about using our services.

We cannot provide free legal aid.

If we decide to take your case and you choose to hire our firm,

you'll need to sign a contract and pay our retainer or fee to start. Legal

fees for ongoing representation will depend on the complexity of your

matter, court filings, and the time involved. Justin will discuss fee structures

and any mandatory costs during your consultation. Total costs for legal

services may vary.

Work begins only after both these steps are completed. We don't

offer case-specific advice without a consultation or signed retainer,

nor can we decide to take your case without one.

It's important to understand that a thorough review of all documents is necessary for our attorney to fully assess your case. Please bring everything you have been served and other pertinent documents to your consultation.

We look forward to assisting you.
