When you first
call the Corley
Law Firm, legal
assistant Alan White takes your
contact information and basic
information about your case. You
will be able to talk with him
as long as you need, to give
him the information that you
think we should know.
 Alan will
send an intake form to you, by
mail or e-mail. He can talk
you through the intake form,
or review your responses when
you complete the intake form,
and send it back to us. This
is how you let us know you are
interested in talking with us
about the possibility of representation.
Alan
or I will then contact you to
make an appointment. Our office is open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. Monday through Thursday,
and 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on
Fridays. Monday through Thursday,
Alan is also here late, and can
speak with you or meet with you
later than 5:00 to accommodate
your work schedule.
At the first
appointment, I get the additional
information that I need to determine
if I can represent you, and if
I am a good match for your legal
needs. I
do not charge for the initial
consultation to determine
if you want to hire us. This
is your time to tell me about
your case, and to ask any questions
you have about me and the work
that I've done.
"Corinne
Corley of the Corley
Law firm is a VERY strong
advocate for disabled
persons because she struggles
with neuromuscular disabilities
herself and is extremely
sensitive to the issues
involved. She was also
a single mother and understands
the issues personally.
She is extremely intelligent
and has a command of
the English language
like the greatest classic
writers. She is a former
foster parent and a deep-down
good-hearted person but
she can be very very
tough in the courtroom
and she doesn't put up
with BS or bullying from
other attorneys.

If you want to hire me, and
I decide that I can represent
you, we then review the contract
and discuss the cost of my services. Since
I am a solo
practitioner, I can
and often do, vary my fees from
case to case -- to take into
consideration your needs, your
resources, and the simplicity
or complexity of your case.
If you decide that I'm the
right lawyer for you, and I
decide that I can provide the
legal services you need, then
you sign a contract and pay
the initial fee and/or cost
deposit, and you become a client
of the Corley Law Firm.
We can't and don't guarantee
results. But we can and do
guarantee hard work and quality
legal services for
a reasonable price, for regular
people, just like us.
