Getting Started
If you would like to schedule an appointment, please feel free to call, email or submit a form through the “Contact Us” page on our website.
A member of our non-attorney staff is available during normal business hours to answer your general questions about our practice areas and attorneys, as well as provide you with some information about how we work, payments and fees, and how to get started. We, in turn, would like to get to know you so that we know what brought you to see us, whether it be a set of facts relating to a loved one’s health issue or goals to achieve, and confirm that we provide the appropriate services for the issue that prompted your call.
Following your new client informational and intake call, we will help you schedule the appropriate attorney consultation meeting. We ask all of our clients to complete a questionnaire before our initial meeting so that the meeting is informative and productive, specifically tailored to your needs and your family. The questionnaire is completed through a secure portal (Decision Vault) and can be completed and submitted electronically on your computer or smart phone. Through this secure portal you may also upload and share any documents that may be requested by the attorney in preparation for your initial meeting. If you prefer, we can send the questionnaire to you by mail.
Initial, Paid Consultation with an Attorney
When you book an initial, paid consultation with us you will know that we handle your type of matter and that there are no conflicts of interest. We charge a non-refundable fee of $400 for an initial meeting. This fee is then applied to (that is, deducted from) the fee for the matter.
Fisher Law LLC generally charges a fixed fee for preparation of an estate plan (Wills, Trusts, Powers of attorney, health care documents, etc.). Our fixed fees for estate planning documents range from about $3,000 to $8,000+ depending upon a client’s particular situation and complexities, such as estate taxes, business interests, etc. Medicaid applications are also charged at a fixed rate.
Estate and trust administration services, as well as guardianships and conservatorships, may be billed on an hourly basis or a fixed fee basis.
When we meet, we will have a working 60-minute meeting where we will explore options, such as will-based versus trust-based plans, types of probates that can be filed in estate administration matters, or options for long-term care settings and the types of programs available to assist in the payment of these options. We will then outline how we will proceed with your matter. You will leave the consultation with a solid blueprint and overall plan of what services are to be provided.
Confidentiality Policy
It is our firm’s policy to preserve your confidentiality at all times. We are strictly bound by professional rules of ethics as well as by personal conviction. We respect your privacy, have safeguards in place internally to protect your confidential information, and we will never disclose or release your private information to anyone without your prior, express consent. Please note, however, that merely contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship.
