Schedule a Consultation with our Lawyer
Initial Consultation
As a prospective client, you may benefit from an initial consultation with our attorney. The consultation, held remotely, lasts up to 30 minutes at a fixed-rate of CHF 150.
The purpose of the consultation is to gather some basic facts about your situation, help you learn about your potential courses of action and the ways in which the firm can support you, and get an estimate of the time and fees needed to resolve your case.
Note: The paid consultation fee is fully deducted in case the firm is engaged.
For urgent matters: appointments can be scheduled via email.
