Free Case Evaluations vs. Paid Consultations

Our free case evaluations and paid consultations are designed to accommodate the different needs of our clients. A free case evaluation is an opportunity to speak with a knowledgeable member of our legal support team who can review the basics of your situation, provide general guidance, and determine if our firm is the right fit for your case. 

A paid consultation, on the other hand, allows you to have dedicated time with an attorney at our firm to discuss your case. A lawyer will be able to provide you with more personalized information regarding your legal options, as well as help you understand the next steps in your legal journey. 

Why Should I Invest in a Paid Consultation With an Attorney?

Having the right information and strategy from the start can make all the difference when facing any legal issue. A paid consultation with an attorney at Ybarra Maldonado Law Group gives you direct access to a lawyer with experience handling similar cases. 

Unlike a general case evaluation, a paid consultation allows you to ask detailed questions, gain a clearer understanding of your rights, and receive professional legal guidance tailored to your case. Investing in a consultation means you’re not just getting answers–you’re getting a plan of action that can help you make informed decisions about your future. 

How a Paid Consultation Can Benefit Your Case

A paid consultation is more than just a meeting: it’s an opportunity to take control of your legal situation with the guidance of a skilled attorney. During this one-on-one session, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your rights, the legal process, and what to expect in your specific situation. 

Additionally, many legal cases have strict deadlines, meaning that the sooner you speak to an attorney, the better your chances are at a favorable outcome. Seeking personalized attention from an attorney can help you avoid costly mistakes, prepare for upcoming legal proceedings, and make confident, informed decisions about the future of your case. 

How Much Does a Consultation Cost?

At Ybarra Maldonado Law Group, we offer paid consultations with an experienced attorney for $250. This fee ensures you receive dedicated time with a legal professional at our firm regarding your case.

What Should I Expect at My Consultation?

During a paid consultation with an attorney at Ybarra Maldonado Law Group, you can expect a focused, in-depth discussion about your legal situation. Your attorney will take the time to review the details of your case, ask essential questions, and assess any documents or evidence you provide. The attorney will explain your legal options, potential challenges you may face, and what your next steps might look like, helping you understand the best course of action moving forward. 

Confidentiality and Attorney-Client Privilege

A paid consultation with Ybarra Maldonado Law Group is an opportunity to receive legal insight regarding your situation, but it does not automatically establish an attorney-client relationship. While your consultation is protected by confidentiality, retaining our firm for legal representation requires a formal agreement. 

If you choose to move forward with our services after your consultation, we will discuss the terms of representation, sign a contract, and outline the next steps in your case. Until that agreement is in place, the confidential consultation serves as a standalone service to help you understand your legal options and make informed decisions about your situation.
