Your Initial Divorce Consultation

Your strategy session

Many firms offer a consultation. At Kalamaya | Goscha we go beyond providing you with basic information about the law — this is your strategy session. We will discuss your case, your feelings, your objectives, and possible strategies for your case. You will leave with a roadmap for your case should you decide to move forward.

What to expect

We will figure out how to best discuss your case — a phone call, virtual meeting on Microsoft Teams or an office visit. Before you come to meet with us, we will send you specific directions how to get to the closest office or set up Teams.

Your consultation will be private and confidential. An attorney will meet you and discuss your case, answer your questions and discuss strategy to achieve your objectives. We will answer all of your questions and help you better understand the legal process, our fees and what your options are for representation.

A Step Forward

You know you need to take action. Making contact with a divorce lawyer who has answers is the first step, but once you have taken that big step you do not know what to do next.
