My practice is, firstly, to listen to you so that I understand your facts, your concerns and your goals. Then I'll explain and counsel you on the law and how your facts are impacted by the laws. We will discuss your options and possible courses of action, I'll answer your questions and discuss the possible range of fees, costs and expenses, and will then assist you in reaching a cost effective, businesslike, and common sense resolution of your matter. I've been practicing law in the Snoqualmie Valley for 34 years. I enjoy the practice and the people I meet. Most of my clients are individuals, many have small businesses or multiple real estate holdings, some don't have much at all. In 34 years I have seen a lot of things, learned a few tricks, and cultivated the achieving of success for my clients. Remember, your good outcome is my good outcome, too. When you practice in a relatively small rural setting like this, referrals and reputation are critically important. If you feel good about the outcome and the price, hopefully you'll recommend me to your friends and associates. I provide detailed and itemized bills for hourly matters, and expect you to promptly advise me if you have any questions about your bill. I will work with you to resolve your questions and will adjust the bill if doing so is appropriate in the circumstances. Some matters, such as writing less complex Wills and Powers of Attorney, can be done on a flat fee basis. Give me a call for a free telephone discussion. I usually can answer a lot of your initial questions over the phone. Or, call to arrange an office consultation. Thanks for taking the time to read these paragraphs. Ian
