Anxious about Working with a Lawyer?


First of all, I get it! Nobody wants to talk to a lawyer. People usually contact a lawyer when they're in an uncomfortable situation. Plus, lawyers have a reputation for being expensive and a little aggressive. So, it's completely normal that you might be feeling some anxiety. But here are some things to keep in mind:


Billing & Rates


  • Our consultations are always free. You don't have to worry about getting hit with a sneaky invoice after your consultation.

  • If after your consultation, you don't feel like it's a good fit, no problem! No hard feelings.

  • Before we start working together, you'll sign a retainer agreement that confirms your intention to hire Output Law, as well as the expected fee.

  • Typically, you'll get a cost estimate during your consultation. Whenever possible, we always try to provide a flat-rate. So you know exactly how much your legal services are going to cost.

Your Consultation


You don't need to prepare for your consultation! But if you're feeling anxious, here are some of the questions that will probably come up during your consultation:

  • What do you need help with?

  • What are you most worried about?

  • Have you signed any agreements that might be relevant?

  • What is the ideal outcome?

  • When does the work need to be completed by?

  • Can you provide a copy of all relevant documents?


Please note: Phone calls make some people anxious. If you'd prefer a consultation via text message, let us know.
