When you initially contact Cation and Mossides Law, we will gather a brief, confidential, description of your situation. This description will enable us to assess basic information about the claim and determine: (1) whether we handle the type of matter at issue (and if not whether a referral to another firm would be appropriate); (2) whether there are any potential conflicts; (3) whether scheduling a free consultation would be appropriate, and (4) if not, whether and how we can otherwise help you navigate your issue.

If the potential client qualifies for a free consultation, we will schedule that individual for a more detailed interview. During the interview, the attorney collects additional information about the individual’s matter and determines whether the individual has a potential legal claim that Cation and Mossides Law and the individual would be interested in pursuing. The consultation also enables the attorney to provide the individual with a brief legal analysis of the matter and a recommendation for future action.

Although all communications with Cation and Mossides Law will be held in confidence and protected by the attorney-client privilege unless otherwise prohibited by law, an attorney-client relationship is not created by any communication with us, whether by using our online contact box, e-mail, telephone, video call, or in person, a combination of listed communications, or other communications not listed. An individual becomes a client and the attorney-client relationship is formed when the individual satisfies all required provisions outlined in the engagement, privacy, retainer agreement (EPRA).
