Consultation requests are screened by counsel for conflicts before any legal advice is provided.

First review

What reaches counsel first.

Four facts
Counsel screen

Before any advice, we check conflicts, deadlines, and whether the matter fits our deliberately limited docket.

  1. 01

    Names

    People, companies, agencies, and counsel involved.

  2. 02

    Dates

    Hearing, charge, demand, deadline, or response window.

  3. 03

    Record

    Pleadings, notices, contracts, messages, video, or reports.

  4. 04

    Forum

    County, court, agency, language need, or cross-border issue.

How counsel reads the first call.

Lee and Diana review new matters for posture before category: who is involved, what deadline controls, which forum matters, and whether the facts move across language or borders.

01A deadline is close

Preserve documents, identify the parties, and write down every date you know. The firm screens urgent matters for timing first, then legal fit.

Request a consultation
02You have been contacted by law enforcement

Do not explain, negotiate, or consent before counsel reviews the situation. Lee evaluates the record, the forum, and the first decision point before formal action hardens.

Criminal defense
03A business or civil dispute is escalating

The first question is leverage. Lee looks at documents, pressure points, available remedies, and whether the matter should be built for trial from the start.

Business litigation
04The matter crosses languages or borders

U.S.–Mexico matters need aligned strategy on both sides. Diana works in English and Spanish so the facts, deadlines, and client priorities stay intact.

Cross-border practice

Discuss your matter.

Request a Consultation

Intake is reviewed by counsel after conflict screening. Timing depends on the matter and any deadlines.
