Then upon engagement I will provide you with a clear cost schedule so there are no surprises. I believe in being transparent about costs at the outset.

Testimonial

“I contacted Jane for legal advice including the drafting and sending of communications. Jane really helped me cut through the emotional distress and confusion I was feeling and focus on the practical resolution of the issue through the legal system that I was unsure how to approach. I really appreciated the combination of Jane's expert knowledge and skills, the transparency in services and associated costs provided upfront, as well as the compassion I felt in our interactions.”
