If you feel the need to contact a trial attorney quickly, please pick up your telephone.  I've made that easy with the addition of a toll free phone number which is available throughout the entire United States and Canada.  You will reach either myself or voicemail - I have no secretarial screen.  When you call please bear in mind I may or may not have time to visit at that instant if you've not made a previous appointment.  If you reach my voicemail, please leave your name, date and time called, return phone number(s) and a brief message regarding the purpose of your call.  I periodically retrieve messages while away from the office and ask that you leave a number as I may not have access to your file at the time.  I don't memorize client phone numbers.  In criminal cases, I will only permit a client to discuss case facts while we are each on a land line - not cell or wireless.  Confidential or time sensitive matters or information should be limited to direct phone conversation with counsel.

        If leaving a message by email or voicemail, you may wish to consider some of the following 
                Full name
                Primary and secondary contact phones
                        including best number and best time to call
                        whether you prefer I not leave a message
                Email address
                Brief explanation of legal problem
                Court case number and county in which litigation is pending
                Date of birth and social security number
                Driver's license number and state of issuance
        Naturally the amount of information you provide is totally in your discretion.  The more information you leave, the better prepared I can be when I return your call.  Conversely, please don't fill my voicemail.

        In addition to your legal problem, openly discuss fees and costs with the attorney in the first visit. When retained I provide a written fee agreement to avoid misunderstandings.  Timeslips computer accounting produces billings which are easy to read & understand. I accept charge cards - MasterCard, VISA, American Express and Discover Card.  Fee and trust deposit quotes will be honored for a period of seven (7) days from the day of the quote.  After that time, fees or requested trust deposit are subject to change without notice if you have not retained this office.

        I have located my office in my home. I find it comfortable, plus it permits me to manage my caseload and provide personal attention to each client and case.  Being a single parent, it also provides an environment for my daughter as close as I can achieve to a stay at home parent.  My home office is physically located near North Union and Dublin.  A map is included in this website. Access is easy from I-25 via Woodmen or from North Academy Blvd via Union - map and driving directions.  I schedule about 30 minutes for a first consultation to answer your questions and provide a fee quote; this can be done by phone.  Children should never be in a position to hear or listen to your legal matters, particularly in the areas of my practice.

        Regarding documents, clients may mail, email, fax or bring to my office.  A secure document drop is accessible.  No one else has access. The drop slot is confidential and available to clients at any time day or night.  Dropping a check is acceptable as the canceled check provides an audit trail, however NO CASH may be dropped.  A receipt or printed billing statement must be issued for cash payment.  Due to lack of audit trail, I accept no responsibility for cash placed in the document drop slot.

        Except for potential evidentiary exhibits retained in hard copy, my files are maintained electronically by image scans. I argue court cases from a notebook computer as it is efficient.  To assure confidentiality, documents are mailed to the client or shredded subsequent to scanning.   I ask that clients retain copies of documents.  Each client is provided with a file folder for documents.  A fee would be assessed to later retrieve and print images of a client's file.  If requested, a data CD of all images in my electronic file my can be provided when I close file.

        All inquiries will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed to any third person absent consent of the client or prospective client.  However I accept no responsibility for disclosure through unauthorized interception during email transit, access by other persons sharing your email account password or interception of conversations involving cordless, wireless or cell phone technology.

        You have visited my website anonymously.  The site is not encrypted or otherwise secure, however no client information is retained in the website.  My websites do not surreptitiously glean information - my sites do not use "cookies" or otherwise gather personally identifiable information except that which a visitor knowingly provides by email or phone call.  I'm an attorney - not a techie or a telemarketer.  However, be aware cookies will be required at the professional payment checkout site if you make an on-line payment.  For future reference in communications with you, I print emails to scan or make brief notations in a phone log regarding conversations.  These are not shared with any other person or business absent express consent of the client or prospective client.

        To keep client documents confidential I utilize protections including burglar / fire alarm, computer virus detection, firewall, spyware filter, web bug filter, and email filters.

Thank you for considering my services.
