Also, the number of consultations given are subject to change with the changing conditions of COVID, and we may have to reschedule.
Consultations are being booked anywhere between 2-4 weeks in advance.
Once you submit your information into the online inquiry form, you will be emailed the application from our system MyCase. We send out the applications twice a week on Monday and Thursdays in the order that they are recieved. If you do not see the application please check your spam and trash folders, and if you do not see it please download one of the available PDFs and email that to Pross@allforthefamilylegalclinic.org.
Generally, you will only need to fill out one application. If your divorce is final and you need assistance with custody and child support you should fill out the custody application.
If you are also interested in getting estate planning services in conjunction with other services (such as divorce) then you will need to fill out the divorce application and the estate planning application.
This is where you get up to an hour with an attorney. We do not prepare any paperwork during the initial consultation, and we also do not review any complex documents before the initial consultation. You are charged your quoted hourly rate for any additional time, work performed, etc.
All initial consultations are over the phone. The attorney will be calling you. Please ensure that your phone can accept calls from blocked numbers. We call from blocked numbers for our safety.

The link will be sent at least a week prior to your consultation. You may also pay with cash or check by mailing it or by dropping it off, but it must be received 2 days before your consultation date. If you have not received the payment link please reach out to assistant@allforthefamilylegalclinic.org and pross@allforthefamilylegalclinic.org.
Please check the email that you used to schedule the consultation with as the payment link will be sent to that email address.
Please also check your spam, junk and trash folders for our emails as they may have ended up there.
If you would like to cancel or reschedule, we require at least 48-hour notice before your scheduled consultation. Please reschedule or cancel as soon as you can as it allows others who are waiting to be scheduled. If you have a last-minute cancelation due to an emergency situation, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can reschedule. If you cancel and later reschedule, you will be charged for a second consultation at your quoted hourly rate.
Your quoted hourly ranges between $50-$150 an hour, and it is determined by the managing attorney based on the information provided in the application. This number sounds expensive, but traditional law firms charge $350+/hr, so it is still significant savings, especially over the course of your case.
Your hourly rate is subject to change.
