One of the things that drew Ms. Conlin to practicing law was the desire to serve people. As a practicing attorney, Ms. Conlin has learned that the practice of law, stripped to its core, means helping people. She has found one of the most challenging, yet rewarding, aspects of being an attorney is balancing a client's wants with what is in his or her best interest.
Ms. Conlin's other attraction to law was intellectual. Gifted with an uncanny ability to hyperfocus, Ms. Conlin scrutinizes court opinions, treatises, statutes, and rules with passion. Originally schooled in journalism, Ms. Conlin parlays a finely tuned writing skill into drafting persuasive legal memoranda, motions, and other documents in both federal and state courts.
We do our best to make legal services affordable for our Clients. Where we can, whe offer flat-fee plans. However, because of their unpredictability, most matters, such as litigation, do not allow us to offer fixed-fees. In those cases, we bill on an hourly fee structure. As of January 2015, Attorney Conlin's hourly billing rate is $275. Work performed by other attorneys/legal staff is billed at a lower rate.
Because each Client's financial situation varies, we can discuss with you the potential costs of representation in different situations, and what types of representation might be best for your situation.
