Bridging the Justice Gap
Most lawyers know there is a “Justice Gap.”
The "Justice Gap" is a term used to describe the dilemma that many who need legal services and assistance aren't able to afford an attorney.
Working-class people are struggling now more than ever to maintain housing for their families and they are getting battered by a confusing legal system as they try to understand their rights.
I'm here to assist everyone, including those who need help but can't afford the typical costs of full representation and don't qualify for pro-bono services.
My firm provides various levels of service and guidance from self-help guides to limited consultation and all the way up to full representation at reasonable prices.
The first consultation call is always free.
From there, I will advise you of what your rights are and what next steps I feel that you should pursue.
I may also offer limited ways in which I can be of further assistance. For example, document review; reviewing client-drafted documents; conducting preliminary negotiations; etc.
These actions will always be low-cost options at flat rates. If your issue is complex or if you worry about going it alone, I also offer full representation at a reasonable hourly rate.
Please check out my services page for a full list of current services that I offer.
Please be aware that I am currently limiting advice to landlord tenant law. But, if you have questions about another area of law, please contact me and I will do my best to guide you.
