Michael B. Clayton and Associates offers a $150.00 initial consultation. 

We would request that you bring in relevant court documents, correspondence, and related documentation. If there are economic matters pending, including support or attorneys fees, we would request that you bring in copies of the current pay stubs for each party, tax returns and statements regarding balance due or value for relevant property/accounts. We have also found it useful for prospective clients to prepare a brief outline (bullet points) of the history of the matter and list any questions or major areas of concern. This is so that we may address those matters, if appropriate, at the initial consultation. The above information is not necessary for an initial consultation. Still, we have found that the better prepared parties are to address family law matters, the more effective our time is with prospective clients.
