Consultations are generally free, but it is important to understand the purpose of a free consultation. Free consultations are generally designed for the attorney to find out some basic information about your legal situation and how O'Flaherty law may be able to help. Free consultations are not for the attorney to advise you of your rights, give specific legal advice, answer legal questions, or to set case strategy.

Paid consultations range from 30 minutes to 1 hour and cost between $195 and $385 dollars. You will know the cost of your consult and what will be included before agreeing to move forward. The type of legal issue generally determines what questions needs to be answered, investigation necessary, and review of documents during the consultation. Our priority is to make sure your questions are answered, and a plan is developed that addresses your legal needs.

Free consultations are generally designed to accomplish 2 things: 1) for the attorney to gather some basic facts about your situation and identify your needs, and 2) to let you know how O'Flaherty Law can help by informing you how long it could take, and how much it could cost.

Paid consultations are designed to answer specific legal questions and perhaps offer specific advice, depending on the nature of your matter and how much context is provided to the attorney.

Much like when you go to the doctor, you may tell the intake staff what your issue is, but the doctor ultimately diagnoses and makes a plan for your care. We take your legal matters very seriously, which is why with each consultation, we strive to ensure you feel confident about the future of your case.

In a paid consultation, your attorney will discuss your legal rights, review the specifics of your case, answer your questions, explain the potential cost of your legal services and how a retainer fee works (if applicable), and lay out next steps in your case.

In a free consultation, the attorney will determine whether we can help, provide a summary of the potential next step(s), and explain the cost of the next step. In a free consultation, the attorney will not be able to discuss your specific legal rights as it pertains to your case, and they will not perform an in-depth review of the specifics of your case.
