The firm
Most people meet a lawyer at a moment that matters: a first home, a new company, a parent growing older. Our work is to make that moment calm, clear and finished.
We keep the firm small on purpose. Every client works directly with an attorney, not a call queue, and the person who takes your first call is the person who signs your final letter.
We also believe nobody should have to guess what legal help will cost. For the work we do most often, the fee is fixed and printed on this page.
Practice areas
Three areas of law, practised closely.
Small business
Steady counsel for owners, from the first filing to the day the keys change hands.
- Company formation
- Operating and partner agreements
- Contract drafting and review
- Commercial leases

Property
Homes, land and buildings, handled with care from the offer to the recorded deed.
- Residential closings
- Deeds and title questions
- Purchase agreements
- Boundary and easement matters
- Landlord and tenant advice
The meeting room. Coffee, tea and time to think.
How we work
Four steps, and no surprises between them.
-
A first conversation
Thirty minutes, in person or by phone. You explain what is on your mind and we listen. There is no charge and no obligation.
-
A written plan and a fee
Within two working days you receive a short letter that sets out what we recommend, what it will cost and how long it should take.
-
The work, explained as it goes
One attorney handles your matter from start to finish. Every draft arrives with a plain language summary, and calls are returned the same day.
-
Signed, filed and kept safe
We sign together, file what needs filing, and hand you a bound copy. Originals stay in our fireproof vault at no cost.
Fees
Fixed fees for common matters.
For the work below, the price is the price. It covers our meetings, the drafting, one round of changes and the signing.
Court costs and recording charges are passed on at cost and listed in your letter before work begins. Anything more involved is quoted in writing first, as a fixed fee wherever we can.
