Strategy Sessions

Real Legal Advice, Without a Big Commitment

Get Clarity. Make a Smart Plan. Move Forward With Confidence.

If you’re dealing with a legal issue but aren’t sure what to do next, a flat-fee strategy session can give you real answers without pressure or long-term commitment.

For $295, you’ll meet with an experienced attorney for up to one hour by phone, video, or in person. You’ll leave with clear guidance, a better understanding of your options, and a practical plan for what makes sense next.

Why We Offer Strategy Sessions

Too many people feel stuck between two extremes:

  • Expensive retainers that require a major commitment upfront
  • “Free consultations” that are disguised sales pitches

A strategy session is our alternative.

For a flat fee, you get focused legal insight, straightforward answers, and an honest assessment of your situation. And if it turns out you don’t actually need a lawyer, you’ll know that too.

This approach benefits everyone:

  • You get clarity without sales pressure
  • We’re compensated fairly for professional time and experience
  • No one wastes hours pursuing the wrong path

It’s a respectful, efficient way to start - whether or not you decide to move forward.

What’s Included (And What Isn’t)

What You'll Get

  • Up to 60 minutes with a licensed attorney
  • Legal advice tailored to your specific situation
  • A clear understanding of your rights, risks, and next steps
  • Coaching and strategy if you plan to handle the matter yourself
  • A candid, professional opinion based on experience, not sales
  • A credit to your first invoice if you hire for full representation

What's Not Included

  • Ongoing work after the session unless you retain us for full representation
  • Follow-up calls or emails included in the flat fee
  • Document drafting or extensive legal research
  • Additional time beyond the scheduled hour

When a Strategy Session Makes Sense

Not every legal issue requires full representation, and not every situation can be resolved in a quick phone call.

A strategy session is ideal if:

  • You’re unsure whether you even need a lawyer
  • You want to know if your claim is legally valid or worth pursuing
  • You’re considering a lawsuit but want a realistic assessment first
  • You can’t justify a full retainer but still want professional guidance
  • You’ve spoken with other lawyers and left feeling confused or pressured
  • You want honest advice before investing large amounts of time, money, or energy

Whether your best next step is legal action, negotiation, or walking away, we’ll help you make that decision with confidence.

Common Questions

What if i only have one quick question?

Most legal questions depend on context. You’ll get the most value by dedicating focused time so we can give accurate, useful guidance.

Can I split the hour or save unused time for later?

No. Strategy sessions are scheduled as a one-time block of attorney time. Unused minutes don’t carry over and are not refundable.

What if I don’t like the answer?

Our job is to give you clarity, not false reassurance. Sometimes the most valuable advice is learning when a legal fight is not worth the cost or stress.

We will always be direct, professional, and honest about what makes sense.

Can I talk to someone first before paying?

Yes. Our intake team can listen briefly and help determine whether a strategy session is appropriate. They do not provide legal advice, and they will not push you into booking a session that isn’t likely to help. We do not want people to hire us if they will not get any value from the strategy session.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. Start by talking to intake.
