Frequently Asked Questions - Robinson Law Office Policies
How do I set-up a meeting or consultation with Mr. Robinson?Complete and submit one of the website forms (Phone Consult or Office Consult). We will do a conflict of interest check and respond to you by email, normally within a few hours or less. Back to TopI'm still living with my spouse, how do I keep my consultation a secret?If you do not want to reveal the fact that you are seeking legal advice, there are several actions you can take. First, when communicating with the Robinson Law Office, do so on a computer and email account on which your spouse has not had and does not have access. This often means using a computer that has never been in your home and creating a new email address from a computer outside of your home. Second, use a payment method/source that your spouse cannot access. If you think that cash is the safest way, then you must opt for the Office Consultation. Back to TopDo you charge fixed fees or do you use hourly rates, and do you extend credit or have payment plans?Both, but mostly hourly. It depends on the type of case and the desires of the client. Contested divorce and family law cases almost always require hourly billing. Since the duration of most cases and the amount of work required are inherently unpredictable (and largely controlled by the parties involved), hourly billing is usually more appropriate. If the matter is 100% uncontested, or the duration and work required are near certain or well-defined, then a fixed fee is a realistic option. No. Banks, credit card companies, other financial institutions, and relatives do a much better job in this area. Anticipated legal fees for the first several months of your case must be covered with an advance deposit and bills must be paid as they are received. The advance deposit, which varies depending on the type of case, will be placed into a Trust Account and your fees will only be withdrawn as they are earned. Unearned funds are returned to the client at the end of the representation. Normally, you must maintain a positive balance/deposit with the office. Back to TopDo you accept credit or debit cards?Yes, but not at the office or over the phone. For security reasons (yours and ours), Robinson Law Office PLLC does not process credit or debit card payments. All credit or debit card payments must be made using the PayPal.com service. If you are a current client, go to the web page entitled Make Payment Online for the procedures. If you are paying for a consultation, then go to the appropriate consultation page (Phone Consult or Office Consult). Back to TopDo you have any special requirements for clients?Yes, all clients must have: 1) an operational email address that they check on a daily basis and 2) the ability to download, open, read and print PDF files. If you prefer to receive written communications from your lawyer via 28 lb. engraved ivory stationery, with a first-class stamp and 2-3 day delivery time, then you should find another lawyer, preferably one wearing a powdered wig and carrying a feather quill pen. Back to TopWill you discuss my legal matter with me on the phone?Yes. People have various reasons for preferring a phone consultation to an office consultation. Some have work schedule conflicts, others cannot make it into a law office during normal business hours, some have privacy concerns, and others just wish to save the travel time. Whatever the case, before I can listen to your facts and give you actual, personalized legal advice over the phone, you'll have to complete and submit the Phone Consultation Form and make your payment via PayPal.com.
