A predictable, four-stage process for every engagement — regardless of practice area.
Held in person at our San Diego office or by encrypted video. You walk in with a question; you leave with a plain-language summary of your options, likely timelines, and honest ranges of cost. If we're not the right firm for your matter, we say so and point you to someone who is.
Every matter begins with a written engagement letter. It lists the scope of work, the deliverables, the flat fee (or hourly cap), and the specific attorney assigned to your file. Nothing is billed that wasn't disclosed here first.
We collect documents through an encrypted client portal, translate them in-house when needed, and draft the filings. Every substantive filing is reviewed by a second attorney before it leaves the office.
We file with the relevant agency or court, track every deadline internally, and update you on progress — even when there's nothing new to report. When the matter closes, you receive a bound copy of every document filed on your behalf.
You'll hear from us at least once a month, even during long federal processing windows. Silence is never the plan.
Every client receives their attorney's direct phone number. Calls are returned within one business day.
All correspondence available in English or Spanish. Interpreter coordination for other languages included at no cost.
