Do you handle real estate matters?
At this time, we are scaling back our real estate area of practice. Ultimately, most real estate clients would probably be better served with a good broker. We have a licensed real estate broker, but she works almost exclusively in a closely-held, family, commercial property management business. If you are interested in a consult for commercial leasing (either as a landlord or tenant), you may certainly contact us. All other areas of real estate law are no longer being offered to law firm clients. This includes sales of residential property, deed preparation, title searches, etc. For real estate law, I would recommend Jeffrey Cullers at Herms & Herrera in Fort Collins, as an alternative, or Samuel Kornfeld, whom you can contact at [email protected]. You may always find representation by searching for a lawyer on the CBA’s Find a Lawyer website. Good luck!
How Do I Pay You
All major credit cards are accepted, as well as cash and check, of course. All personal checks must be cleared before payment will be credited to the client’s account. We currently utilize online payments via Square, and are working on allowing phone and online payment processing in the near future. Check back soon! Until then, just let me know, and we’ll email you an invoice to pay online anytime!
Do you offer a flexible payment plan?
It depends on the fees to be charged, but in most cases we definitely can formulate a payment plan. In all situations, we do our best to accommodate people who aren’t made of money (if you ARE made of money, please hire us). Students and Vets get discounts for criminal defense matters, and family law matters are curated to an individual’s needs, as well.
Colorado Lawyer Team offers flexible payment plans over the life of your case or even longer, which helps keep overhead low and costs down — resulting in lower fees to clients. We quote new criminal cases on a flat-rate basis, so you’ll know exactly what to expect in terms of cost by the end of our initial phone conference. We offer DIY packages for criminal and family law matters (via Hello Divorce). Additional costs can apply (filing fees, mileage, etc.), but we tell you up front what is and is not included and we’re happy to curate a payment plan for any new client.
In family law and in some rare criminal cases, an hourly rate may be quoted for specific types of cases (post-conviction work, mostly). No two cases and no two clients are the same. We tailor fees and fee structures to the case and the client’s unique circumstances during our initial 30 min free consultation.
Do you offer free consultations?
We do a free 30-minute consultation, at the end of which you get the quote for what it will cost to retain us as your attorney. These are almost always done via phone.
Do you offer student rates?
Yes. We cater to students with offices right across the street from CSU, offering flexible payment plans.
How Do I Get In Touch Once I Hire You?
Colorado Lawyer Team is a virtual law firm operating in a paperless manner. You can always use snail mail, but aside from limited pleadings that are required to be sent to you via USPS, most of our correspondence will be over the phone, via email, via text, or in person. Regular office hours are not maintained. We may be in court or working from one of our four offices. Meetings must be scheduled in advance due to our busy calendar. Colorado Lawyer Team is unavailable on weekends, holidays, and after-hours, generally speaking. Emergencies for existing clients are dealt with as soon as practicable. Please do not leave multiple messages to avoid duplication of work. We generally try to update all our clients every month (if not more often) even if the update is, “there is no update.” When you sign a contract for representation with Colorado Lawyer Team, we will provide you with all of our firm’s policies regarding communication so we’re always on the same page!
