Frequently Asked Questions
How do I become a client?
Generally, our first step is to discuss your matter (in very general terms) by telephone, collect information about you, any opposing party and the status of the matter, to enable us to run a conflict of interest check. The next step, assuming no conflict of interest exists, will be to schedule you a consultation.
Is the first consultation free?
The first consultation is free, lasting no longer than 20 minutes.
The purpose of the consultation is for the attorney to obtain relevant information about your legal issues. If Mr. Wantland decides that he is able and willing to represent you, he will present you with a representation agreement and retainer fee. Mr. Wantland’s retainer fee must be paid in full before he begins representation.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
If Mr. Wantland accepts your case he will determine what documents you need to supply. Usually, if your case involves an already existing case or a specific document (like a contract you signed), it’s probably a good idea to bring it with you.
