In general, no. If you have been referred to our office as a subsidy-based case in connection with a juvenile court case or through legal aid's judicare program, your initial meeting will be billed to the agency as part of the process and you will not be required to make an up-front payment.
For all other inquiries, we do require a consultation fee. That’s because we believe your case deserves more than a quick introduction or a surface-level conversation. Most consultations with our office last 60-90 minutes.
When you schedule a consultation with Welch Law Office, LLC, you receive a thorough, personalized case review, not a brief meet-and-greet. We take the time to understand your situation, answer your questions, review any documents you bring, and go over your possible next steps.
Your time is valuable — and so is your case. Charging for consultations ensures that you receive the focused attention, detailed advice, and experienced guidance you deserve from the very first meeting.
