Frequently Asked Questions...

What type of clients do you typically work with?

  

Our client base includes everyone from individual parties seeking assistance with a civil defense matter to Florida companies involved in complex litigation in Federal court.

  

Where are most of your clients located?

  

Most of our clients own and operate businesses in the Tampa Bay area; however, we represent clients all over the state of Florida, and even select clients from states around the country who have legal matters in Florida. There is no legal problem too great (or too small) for Gear Law, LLC to handle with discretion and care.

​

How do you communicate with your clients?

  

We make every effort to respond to all client communications within 24 hours. To achieve that goal, we use a variety of methods depending on what is most convenient for our clients, including telephone calls, emails, Zoom meetings, and in-person consultations.

​​

How do you bill for your services?

  

We understand the value of our clients’ hard-earned money, so we are very conscientious in terms of the time we allocate to tasks and how much we bill. We work closely with our clients to ensure that you understand the amount of time we spend on a matter and how much you are billed is appropriate.

​

Do you require a retainer?

  

Yes. The amount will vary based on the complexity of your matter. You will always receive a detailed breakdown of estimated costs, prior to making a retainer payment.

​

Can you help me start a new business?

  

We have assisted numerous startups and entrepreneurs over the years. One of the joys of being a business attorney is seeing our clients’ ideas come to life, and helping them maximize their business growth. We offer flat fee rates for helping navigate the legalities of starting a business, which also include two (2) hours of business development consultation and document drafting with Attorney Gear.
