Many consultants like to send us a lot of information at once, especially WhatsApp conversation records. It is really unprepared to be sent more than a dozen screenshots at once. We will still read it if it is feasible, but in this case of a lot of reading, we recommend face-to-face communication. First, the consultant may be biased and only send information that is beneficial to him. Second, we do not understand the background of the conversation and it is easy to cause misunderstandings. 10 minutes of face-to-face communication is basically equivalent to 30 minutes of text communication, so if we expect the text communication to exceed 20 minutes, we usually recommend to arrange Legal Lunch or Online Consultation directly.

It is not difficult to understand what online consultation is, but many visitors are still unclear about what Legal Lunch is. Simply put, we arrange for a lawyer to have lunch with you in Central on a free day and handle your consultation face to face. When you meet, we will give you a consent letter to clarify that Legal Lunch is not a formal commission, so no lawyer fees will be charged, and the opinions given by the lawyer at that time are only for reference and do not constitute formal legal opinions. If you really want to take legal action, you still need to go through a formal commission (you don’t have to find us or the lawyer you meet at that time). You only need to pay for the meal. Unless you actively request it, the restaurants we recommend will have an average lunch consumption of less than $200 per person, which will not be too much of a burden; at least it is much cheaper than you blindly looking for a law firm. Of course, it would be even better if you are willing to share our website after lunch.

Legal Lunch has many benefits for both parties. The most direct one is that generally speaking, how can seeing a lawyer be free? I once had a friend who was persuaded by a lawyer to pay $5,000 to file, but because he was unwilling to pay more to hire a litigation lawyer, he was unable to make an appointment with the lawyer until he went to court, and was always just the "lawyer" communicating with him. It is common that when facing a customer who visits for the first time, the law firm will only find a lawyer to send him away, and basically he will not see a lawyer. Unless you are very good friends with a certain lawyer! Otherwise, meeting with a lawyer to discuss legal issues may cost four figures even if it is less than an hour; of course, if you are discussing pet issues or fitness issues with a lawyer, we will not charge.

Secondly, lunch is something that needs to be eaten every day, so it is not a big burden for us to take some time out to answer legal questions while eating. Of course, it would be a bad industry practice to provide it completely for free, so at least the consultants have to pay for the meal. Also, eating out does not take up space in the law firm, so it is less burdensome on the space of the law firm. If you have other questions about Legal Lunch, please contact us directly! I hope we can help you solve legal problems more efficiently.
