Questions
Plain answers for service families
Do I need a civilian lawyer if I have a military one?
Not always. A civilian lawyer is an addition you choose, for more hours on the file, a second view, or a lawyer who can meet you near home. Your assigned lawyer stays on the case either way.
Do you work with my assigned military lawyer?
Yes, with your permission. We share what we find and agree on one plan.
Which branches do your clients serve in?
Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and the Guard and Reserve. Veterans and military spouses are clients too.
Will my command know I called?
Your conversations with us are covered by attorney-client privilege. We do not contact your chain of command unless you ask us to.
Is it safe to email you the details?
Please don't send confidential details by email or through the form. We will ask for them on a call or in person.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the case. We set fees in writing before work begins; some stages are fixed and others hourly.
Do you offer payment plans?
Ask on the first call. If we can spread payments, they go in the written fee agreement.
I was handed a notice and it has a deadline. What now?
Call before you reply. Many deadlines are short, and the first answer you give is often the one that counts.
Can you promise me an outcome?
No lawyer can. We tell you what the options are, what we think is likely and what could go wrong.
