Our friendly staff will discuss your concerns and help you get the legal advice that you need.
If you contact us during non-business hours, we will get back to you the next business day.
Cost
You will be asked to bring the $50 administrative fee in cash with you to your appointment. The LRS lawyers cannot take checks or credit cards.
If you schedule a phone consultation, you will need to provide credit card information when we book your appointment. Your card will be charged the $50 administrative fee prior to your appointment.
There is no administrative fee for Workers’ Compensation appointments.
We offer a very limited number of weekly fee waivers, which are generally granted first thing Monday morning. We recommend you call our office at 8:30 a.m. to request a fee waiver. You must be a Santa Cruz County resident and meet certain financial requirements. The fee waiver covers the administrative fee only. We are only able to grant one fee waiver in a one-year period to any eligible LRS client.
Phone Consultation
If you are unable to meet face to face with a lawyer in their Santa Cruz County office, we can schedule a phone consultation for you.
This is a good solution for people who are out of the area or who have physical limitations or transportation challenges that make it difficult for them to meet in a lawyer’s office. This is also an option for someone who works during our LRS appointment hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. If you can get away for a 30 minute call during your work day, you can use LRS to help you with your legal problem.
You will be asked for credit card information when we schedule your phone consultation appointment and your card will be charged $50. We will schedule your appointment when you are available for the phone call, and then we will provide you with the lawyer’s phone number.
We recommend that prior to your phone consultation, you write down a brief overview of your problem and a list of questions. This will help you get the most out of your 30-minute consultation.
