Frequently asked questions.

Family Law

    You can meet the lawyer, explain your situation and the lawyer will let you know how she can help you and what are your options.

    She will give you the fee structure with an option for a limited scope retainer.

    It is your choice which type of retainer you would like to sign with JC Law or if you would like to come back at a later date, after

    careful consideration.
