Prescreening Form

for legal issues involving California, New York, Oregon and Washington

Looking to schedule a 30-minute phone or Zoom consultation to prevent or resolve a legal matter? A $225 consultation is required to provide you with legal advice for preventing or resolving legal issues.

Before we can schedule you for a consultation, we are required to:

  1. Ensure there is no conflict of interest if we talk with you. It would be a conflict of interest, for example, if the person you are having an issue with has already contacted us about the same matter.
  2. Verify that either you reside in, or the situation involves a transaction that took place in, the states of California, New York, Oregon or Washington. These are the states in which our attorney is licensed to practice law.

(NOTE: For issues involving international or national equine organizations or breed registries — such as matters pending before USEF or FEI  — the state requirement does not apply.)

There is a $225 fee for your consultation. This discounted fee applies only to your initial consultation for this particular matter. Subsequent consultations for the same matter will be billed at our regular hourly rate.

Once we have verified you are eligible for a consultation, we will email you a link to our online consultation information form for you to provide details about your matter and an invoice to submit your payment. Our consultations are scheduled at 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. Consultations are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
