An initial, one-hour exploratory call with Michael H. Cohen is charged a flat fee. By submitting your information and clicking the purchase button, you agree that you have read, understand, and will abide by the law firm's disclaimer as it applies to this telephone conversation. Further, you acknowledge your understanding that this is merely a preliminary, exploratory call to determine whether legal representation makes sense for each of you and the law firm. Any analysis will be preliminary, and no definitive legal advice will be rendered in this initial brief consult. Clients are encouraged to have the benefit of legal research and written analysis before making critical decisions regarding their business. The fee is intended solely to cover some of the administrative expense to the firm for this call. Once you complete this purchase, the Law Offices will contact you, as promptly as feasible, to schedule a telephone time. You also authorize us to list you as a client on our law firm website.

What comes next?
After completing your purchase via Google Checkout, you will be asked to provide some essential information about your situation in advance of our conversation, as well as your telephone and email contact information which Google Checkout sometimes does not relay to us.

What if the consultation requires less than an hour?
An hour has been reserved for our consultation regardless of whether the full hour is used; to the extent time remains, a partial credit for unused time may be applied at the sole discretion of the firm to future engagement. No other form of creditor refund is offered or available. Your purchase of this consultation signifies acceptance of these terms.

Does this flat fee reflect your hourly rate?
No. The initial telephone consult fee should not be construed as indicative of the hourly rate of service that would apply if legal services are engaged.
