The first step with a new client is to schedule a consultation. We offer video consults, phone consults, and in-person meetings.
We do not offer free initial consultations because we believe our consultations provide real value to our clients right from the start. Our sessions are focused, thorough, and designed to give you practical advice. We’ll assess your situation, answer your questions, and provide you with a clear strategy to move forward—whether or not you choose to retain our services.
