Do you offer free consultations for new clients?

Yes, Mizak & Pacetti, is pleased to offer free consultations for new clients. We understand that facing a legal issue can be overwhelming, and we want to ensure you have the opportunity to discuss your concerns with an experienced attorney without any initial financial commitment.

During your free consultation, you'll have the chance to share the details of your case, ask any questions you may have, and gain a clear understanding of your legal options. This meeting is designed to help you determine whether you need legal representation, how we can assist you, and what steps to take next.

Our goal is to provide you with the information and confidence you need to move forward with your case. Whether you’re dealing with a personal injury, a family law matter, criminal charges, or any other legal concern, our team is here to listen, guide, and support you from the very start.

How do I know if I need a lawyer for my case?

Deciding whether you need a lawyer often depends on the complexity and stakes of your legal issue. At Mizak & Pacetti, we recommend consulting with an attorney if you're facing situations such as:

  • Legal Disputes: Whether it’s a personal injury claim, a criminal charge, or a family law matter like divorce or custody, having an experienced advocate can significantly affect the outcome.
  • Serious Consequences: Cases involving potential fines, penalties, or life-changing decisions—such as estate planning, business formation, or defending against criminal charges—typically benefit from professional legal guidance.
  • Unfamiliarity with the Law: Laws and procedures can be complicated, and trying to navigate them alone can lead to costly mistakes. A lawyer ensures you understand your rights and options.

During a free consultation, we’ll assess the specifics of your situation and provide honest advice about whether legal representation is necessary. Even if your case seems straightforward, a consultation can clarify the best course of action and help you avoid potential pitfalls.

What can I expect during my first meeting with an attorney?

Your first meeting with an attorney at Mizak & Pacetti, is an opportunity to discuss your legal matter in a confidential and supportive environment. We understand that meeting with a lawyer can feel daunting, so we strive to make the process as straightforward and comfortable as possible.

Here’s what you can typically expect during your initial consultation:

  1. Listening to Your Story - The attorney will ask you to explain the details of your situation. This is your opportunity to provide as much relevant information as possible, including any documentation or evidence you may have. The more details you can share, the better we can understand your case and provide guidance.
  2. Evaluating Your Case - After reviewing the facts, the attorney will assess the legal aspects of your situation. This may include identifying potential challenges, discussing your goals, and explaining how the law applies to your specific case.
  3. Answering Your Questions - You will have the chance to ask any questions you might have about your case, your legal options, or the legal process in general. We encourage open and honest communication to ensure you feel informed and confident about your next steps.
  4. Outlining Next Steps - Based on the details of your case, the attorney will outline potential strategies and explain how we can assist you. You’ll receive a clear picture of what to expect moving forward, including possible timelines and outcomes.
  5. Discussing Fees and Representation - If you decide to move forward with our firm, we’ll discuss our fee structure and payment plans. We’re committed to transparency and will ensure you understand all costs involved before proceeding.

Your initial consultation is not just a chance for us to evaluate your case—it’s also an opportunity for you to determine if we’re the right fit to represent you. At Mizak & Pacetti, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and professional legal services tailored to your unique needs. Contact us to schedule your first meeting and take the first step toward resolving your legal matter.

How do your fees and payment plans work?

At Mizak & Pacetti, we strive to make our legal services accessible and transparent by offering fee structures and payment options tailored to the type of case and client needs. Here’s an overview of how our fees and payment plans typically work:

  • Contingency Fees - For cases like personal injury, we often work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront attorney fees, and our attorney fee payment is contingent upon successfully recovering compensation for you. Our attorney fee is usually a percentage of the settlement or judgment, and if we don’t win, you owe us nothing for our legal services.
  • Hourly Billing - For more complex matters, such as business law or certain types of litigation, we may charge an hourly rate. We track the time spent on your case and provide detailed invoices so you can see exactly how your money is being used.
  • Flat Fees - For specific services such as drafting wills, trusts, or certain estate planning documents, we may offer flat fees. This allows you to know the total cost upfront, with no surprises.
  • Retainer Agreements - For ongoing or more involved cases, we may require a retainer. This is an upfront payment that is applied toward your legal fees as work is completed. We’ll provide regular updates so you can track the progress of your case and the corresponding costs.
  • Payment Plans - We understand that legal expenses can be a financial challenge, so we offer flexible payment plans in some cases. This allows you to spread the cost of legal representation over time.

At Mizak & Pacetti, our goal is to provide clear and fair pricing while delivering high-quality legal representation. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss the fee structure for your specific case and any available payment options. This ensures you have a full understanding of the costs and can make an informed decision about proceeding with your case
