If you would like to have a consultation with Attorney Matney, the first thing we need for you to do is fill out our Appointment Request E-Mail Form below.   This will enable us to make sure there is no Conflict of Interest and that the attorney could possibly be available on the date(s) you may need in the court you need, and that the type of work you need done is something the attorney does.


For example, while we will accept custody cases involving children who were adopted, we do not do actual adoption work.   Filling out the e-mail form enables us to quickly help you avoid losing valuable time finding an attorney if we are not going to be able to possibly help you, and will enable us to help you faster if we are going to be able to help you.


If there seems to be no Conflict regarding names, dates, and/or subject matter, and if you then decide to have a consultation with Attorney Matney about your case or situation, the cost would be the attorney's hourly rate of $275.00 an hour, payable by MasterCard or Visa.   Filling out our form is no guarantee of the attorney being able to discuss your case with you or of case acceptance.
