Are you open on weekends? Do you make house calls?

Yes. We routinely hold client meetings on the weekends and in the evenings. Dr. Aylward makes house calls. 

Do you charge extra for working in the evening or on the weekends?

Not generally.  We do not charge extra for scheduled work on weekends and in the evening.  We may charge extra, however, if urgent work becomes necessary due to circumstances beyond our control and requires us to work overnight or to cancel other engagements.  An example of such occurrence is when you rush into our offices asking for help only weeks before a trial.  Assuming that we take a case under these conditions, you may be billed extra charges if the work cannot be accommodated during normal hours.

How much will it cost to get a divorce?

We have no idea.  We promise efficient service at a competitive hourly rate.  How many hours it will take for you and your spouse to reach an agreement is completely outside our control.  If you and your spouse are agreeable,  it may cost you very little.  If you and your spouse can not see eye-to-eye on any issue, and we wind up in court,  it will cost you a lot.  It has been our experience that the degree of enmity and spite has no correlation with the size of the marital estate being divided. Anger is unpredictable. 

What is the fee for your first consultation?

The fee is $450 for a 90 minute consultation (1 hour 30 minutes). We accept visa, master card, cash and personal checks.
During the initial consultation, we will establish the strategy to attack your immediate problems, identify the long-term issues presented,  and estimate what it will take to sort out your problems.  At the end of the meeting, we will tell you whether we are interested in taking your case.  

Where do I park?

Right in front. There are no parking fees and no maze of elevators.
