Concierge Legal Services, Built Around You
We offer on-call concierge legal service plans for clients who need personalized, high-touch counsel. Every matter receives the partner-level attention that complex problems require.
On-Call When It Matters
Concierge clients have a direct line, day or night. Arraignments, after-hours emergencies, and time-sensitive decisions do not wait for business hours, and neither do we. You should never be told to leave a voicemail.
Strategic, Not Reactive
Real defense begins before the first court date. We build the record, file the right motions, and position your case for the strongest possible outcome, at trial, on appeal, or before it ever needs to get there.
Quick Questions, No Clock
A five-minute question should not cost a half-hour bill. Concierge clients can pick up the phone for short legal questions without watching the meter run. The relationship pays for itself in the calls you would otherwise be afraid to make.
Three Commitments
Plain Language, Direct Access
Legal work is stressful enough without translation. We explain the law, the strategy, and the realistic outcomes in language you can act on, and we pick up the phone when you call. Every motion, every court date, every decision is yours to weigh in on.
Simple Solutions
The simplest solution is usually the easiest and the cheapest. We listen first, identify the path of least resistance, and execute, without burning hours or your money.
Modern Tools, Honest Bills
The legal profession is changing, and our clients should benefit from it. We use AI-assisted research, document review, and case management to cut hours, not corners, and we pass those savings through. You pay for advocacy and judgment, not redundant work.

Common Questions
What happens during a consultation?
We listen first. You describe the situation; we discuss the law, the realistic range of outcomes, and what representation would look like. There is no obligation, and your conversation is held in confidence.
How much does it cost to hire this firm?
Fees depend on the nature and complexity of the matter. We discuss fee structure transparently at the consultation and confirm everything in a transparent written engagement letter. Flat fees, hourly engagements, and concierge plans are all available.
What if I am arrested after business hours?
Call or text the office — (908) 845-3303. After-hours calls and texts are monitored, and we respond the same day for urgent matters, including evenings and weekends.
Do I have to come to the Union office?
No. Initial consultations can be conducted by phone or secure video. In-person meetings are available at the Union office or, when warranted, off-site by arrangement.
Will my matter remain confidential?
Yes. Communications with this firm after an engagement is formed are protected by the attorney-client privilege and by the broader professional duty of confidentiality under RPC 1.6. We also offer concierge plans that add an extra layer of privacy and discretion.
