When do I need an attorney?

The services of an attorney are recommended whenever there is a legal process that you must complete, whether that is divorce, adoption, bankruptcy, estate planning, or criminal matter. Having a knowledgeable attorney to help you navigate through the system can help improve your outcomes in the long run and help reduce the stress of the situation as you are experiencing it.

Can I afford an attorney?

While attorney fees vary according to the services provided and the particular attorney you select, Tina Fryling, Esquire, works hard to make her fees affordable for her clientele and to provide payment plans when appropriate. She prides herself on providing quality legal services at a rate that is not inflated, allowing her to help those who are most in need.

How much does a consultation appointment cost?

While many attorneys charge a fee for an initial thirty (30) minute appointment with a client, Tina Fryling, Esquire, believes that the first meeting should be free of charge. This meeting allows both client and attorney to focus on the matter at hand, determining whether or not the fit is right, and whether or not the case has potential to go forward, without worrying about payment. Tina puts a human face on her practice, offering compassion and understanding along with her legal expertise.

What are your office hours?

Because Tina is a practicing attorney who spends a great deal of time in court, we have no regular “open” office hours. We are in the office when we are seeing clients, around her court schedule. It is always best to call ahead if you have paperwork or a payment to drop off. That way, we can be sure to be available to help you when you arrive.

How soon can I schedule an appointment?

While Tina has a busy practice, we work hard to ensure that all clients get in to see her as quickly as possible. Usually, we can find an open time within a week or so, and some evening appointments are available. Tina knows that finding a mutual free time can be challenging, and she tries to provide flexibility that will accommodate most schedules.

I can’t find you! Where are you located?

Our office is located at 4402 Peach Street, Suite #3, which is part of the Foot and Ankle building. We are across the street from Perkins restaurant, and right next door to the One Way Inn. Our suite is located in the North Wing of the building, which is a section of the building that sits back from Peach Street, with its own lower parking lot, and we are on the second floor.

I have stuff to drop off and you aren’t there! What do I do?

Although we prefer to arrange a time that we can be there to accept your paperwork or payments, we do also have a mail slot and a locked mailbox where clients may drop things off. The mail box is on the outside of the building and has Tina’s name on it. The mail slot is in the wall next to our Suite door and goes into a basket in the reception area. If you are dropping off a check or money order payment, please put it in a sealed envelope and clearly identify the client’s name on the envelope so we can credit the appropriate account. DO NOT LEAVE CASH PAYMENTS in the mail slot or mailbox. Please arrange to make cash payments when someone is in the office. You can email FrylingLawOffices@gmail.com to set a convenient time to make a payment. Paperwork should also be in an envelope or folder, to ensure that it does not get mixed up with another client’s information.

What should I bring to my initial consultation appointment?

Please bring any relevant documentation to your first appointment, so Tina can get a good idea of the status of your case. For example, if you are filing for bankruptcy, please bring a list of your outstanding creditors, your current income information, and any other paperwork that could have a bearing on your case. For criminal charges, divorce, or custody cases, bring any legal paperwork that you may have received. Names and addresses of other involved parties are also helpful. And for wills, powers or attorney, or living wills, bring a list of items you wish to disperse and the names/addresses of those you wish to empower.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We can accept cash, checks, cashier’s checks or money orders, and credit card payments at our office.
