CLIENT SERVICES
Representation at McCAIG LAW OFFICES generally starts with an initial consultation. You may not realize how much you have to say until you are actually here – so Rose Ellen McCaig encourages you to take your time to explain your situation, have your questions answered and your concerns addressed – whatever they may be.
MLO charges a flat fee for this initial consultation. Over the years clients have consistently said the fee was a valuable investment and how informative and helpful this meeting was to them. Rose Ellen is confident that you will leave this meeting with a great deal of knowledge, a sense that you understand the legal process and what you should expect from any attorney with whom you ultimately work.
Rose Ellen works with each client in whatever context best suits that client’s needs. Some clients who come to MLO seeking assistance with a specific legal matter such as Adoption, Premarital Planning, Divorce, Divorce Planning, Modification of Alimony, Contempt of Child Support Order, Living Together Contracts, Starting a Small Business or filing or defending a Lawsuit, or Buying a Second Home.
MLO also represent clients who have several interrelated issues such as protecting Business Interests or Selling a Home in a Divorce. Rose Ellen maintains continuing relationships with clients with whom she works on various issues they face in the Post-Divorce period or over time in their Businesses. She takes on the role of “personal attorney” for those clients who want advice on a variety of matters on an on-going basis. Rose Ellen may act as counsel to a Small Business where she becomes familiar with its practices and issues and is able to react immediately should a problem arise. In all scenarios, and within each framework, MLO develops a plan of action and a strategy –and Rose Ellen counsels, guides and advocates for MLO clients.
