Consultation & Fees

To arrange for a consultation call (931) 492-4288 or email us at info@henegarlaw.com.

Perhaps the most valuable service we offer is the initial consultation. In some circumstances, an initial consultation may be free. Usually, there is a flat charge for the initial, one-hour lawyer’s consultation. The rate can and will be discussed as you arrange the appointment. If the consultation lasts substantially more than one hour, the additional time will be charged at the rate of the consulting attorney. During the consultation, we attempt not only to answer the questions you may have but also give you answers to questions that will arise for you in the future. It is also a time for you to meet the staff who, together with the lawyer, will assist you throughout your situation.

Prepare for the Initial Consult

An Informed Assessment of Your Case

No two cases are alike and accordingly, no two fees will be the same. Since the amount of time involved can never be predicted with scientific precision, we will do our best, after the initial consultation, to approximate how long the case could take and how much it may ultimately cost. As with any legal matter or proceeding, there may be variables which cannot be anticipated, but we will give an honest effort to try to help you determine and anticipate the costs involved.

Billing Against Retainer

Before we begin representation, we require an initial retainer and a signed fee contract. The initial retainer depends on the case. We then bill our time against that retainer, and, if and when the retainer is close to being depleted, we may require an additional retainer if it appears the case has become more time consuming than initially anticipated. Of course, where it is appropriate, we will seek to have the other party reimburse you for your attorneys’ fees.

If you wish to arrange an initial consultation with one of our attorneys, please simply call us at (931) 492-4288. If you would like to contact us via the Internet, please send an email to info@henegarlaw.com.

We look forward to the possibility of meeting with you.
