Each case is different, but we try to assess the issues in our first conversation to set up clear expectations before any payment would become due.

For phone consultations, we are usually available that day or the following day. For in person meetings, it depends on what type of case and the office location requested.

Initial phone consult is free at the Law Offices of Howe & Garside, LTD

Where married people work out the terms of their divorce together at Partners in Mediation, instead of a Jude making the decision for them.
