Frequently Asked Questions:

3. Do you always require full payment up front?
4. My cousin/ neighbor/ childhood friend is an experienced lawyer, who is in and out of courtrooms on a regular basis dealing with anything, from housing to criminal law. If he is capable of dealing with such complex matters, isn't he able to help me with something as trivial as a doping charge?
