If you receive a notice of any proposed or pending administrative action from a federal government agency, or have to make difficult disclosures on an application to the federal government, you probably need legal assistance. You might receive a letter that is called a “notice of intent,” “notice of proposed…,” or “order to show cause.”  Federal administrative law matters can range from a simple letter of explanation to a multi-day formal hearing which is identical to a court trial.  When we are contacted at the earliest stages of a problem, a solution is often more easily and more economically reached.

Most cases are handled on an hourly fee.  The amount of fees depends upon the complexity of the legal matter.  Usually a client will be asked to deposit an initial amount and then will be billed on a monthly basis.  Depending on the matter, it may be possible to give an educated guess as to the likely total cost of defense, however, cases vary greatly, so it is impossible to precisely predict a total fee or outcome.  In select cases the attorney may be willing to set a fixed fee for the case.

We accept all forms of payment that are accepted at any major service firm, including most credit cards, debit cards, cash or check. If you have license defense coverage on your business or professional insurance policy and your carrier extends coverage to your matter, we may be able to directly bill your insurance company for your legal fees, or at the end of the case we may be able to help you with the claims forms to seek reimbursement from the insurance company for the fees you have paid us.

No. All lawyers are licensed, but very few possess the knowledge and experience to handle federal administrative law cases. An attorney who does not do administrative hearings or appeals of adverse decisions on a daily basis may not have the confidence, ability or insight to deliver the best results possible.
