How consultations work
Consultations with William Oxley are a flat fee of $350. You can meet by phone, by Zoom, or at the office on Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills. Your consultation is private and confidential.
What to bring
- Any court papers you have filed or been served with, including any notice of a hearing date.
- Recent pay stubs and your last two years of tax returns.
- A list of major assets and debts: the home, accounts, retirement, vehicles, loans and credit cards.
- Any existing agreements or orders, such as a prenuptial agreement, custody order or support order.
- A short timeline: the date of marriage, the date of separation, and your children's names and ages.
Questions to consider asking
- What are my options, and what would you recommend first?
- What deadlines apply to my case right now?
- What will this likely cost, and how is billing handled?
- What can I do now to protect myself and my children?
- How will we communicate while my case is open?
