Approach to Cases  

When Austin is assigned your case his response time is typically the day of or the next day. Before contacting you Austin researches the facts of your case to determine the Cause of Action and understand as much as he can about your legal situation. Austin will then contact you by phone for an initial meeting during which he will tell you a little bit about himself, go over some agreements that establish the Attorney Client relationship, go over the case and make a plan. You will typically receive a follow up email from Austin outlining what was discussed. Austin works primarily from home and most of his communication with you will be via email. Austin will schedule phone meetings with you as needed and prior to hearings to help you prepare and send you updates about your case via email. On the day of your hearing Austin will appear in court with you.
