Have you ever just wanted to talk to an attorney? Not in six weeks or four weeks or even three weeks – more like today or tomorrow? Consult With Shea offers the opportunity to talk to an experienced, trusted attorney — Shea — for a reasonable price sooner rather than later.

Consult With Shea is a consultation practice. This means that you will get advice to understand where you stand legally and to help you help yourself. If you need further work and can afford to engage an attorney to do it, Shea will refer you to appropriate counsel.

For people who want to start a personal business and for microbusiness owners, Shea may draft documents necessary for business operations, for example bylaws and operating agreements necessary for banking as well as simple contracts. In the event you need such documents, the work will be done at a very reasonable fixed price that you will know and pay in advance. You will not be surprised by a gargantuan hourly legal bill. What should you consult with Shea about? You can consult with Shea regarding a wide variety of civil legal matters.

You can book your 50 minute virtual or telephonic consultation by clicking here or clicking on Book a Consultation anywhere on the website. You will be asked to select an appointment time. Then, you will review and accept the terms of representation and enter your personal information, including contact information, other involved parties, and a brief synopsis of what you want to consult about. Then, you will pay your fee using your credit or debit card. Upon payment, you will receive an email confirming your appointment. Thereafter, you will receive a Google Meet link to join the virtual consultation at the scheduled time. You may select “I prefer a telephonic consultation” and provide a number for Shea to call if you prefer that your consultation take place by phone instead of using Google Meet.

If Shea is going to perform services beyond the initial consultation, such as preparation of an operating agreement or simple contract, Shea will send you a separate email detailing the scope of work, the set fee for services to be provided and instructions regarding payment. Shea will not provide any services in addition to the consultation unless confirmed by Shea in writing.

If you have questions about how it works, please contact Shea by email at shea@consultwithshea.com.

Consult With Shea, P.C. offers mediation services for all types of civil disputes with an emphasis on disputes involving small business, real property, and estates and trusts with sums in controversy ranging from the tens-of-thousands of dollars to the low six figures as well as cases in which matters other than money are at issue.

Shea mediates remotely or in person in a timely fashion. While attorneys may schedule mediations as far in the future as they may like, it is the goal to schedule mediations within four to six weeks or sooner if the parties like.

Mediations conducted by Shea are affordable. Half day mediations cost $1,300 and full day mediations cost $2,000. The mediation fee includes preparation for the mediation, a pre-mediation phone conference with attorneys and the mediation itself.

In the event a mediation goes beyond the length of a full day, additional hours on the same day are charged at $200 per hour. For in person mediations, Shea can provide reasonable fixed fees for travel.

Consult With Shea, P.C.— Serving Oregon and Washington

I’m Shea. I’ve been practicing law for over 20 years. I am licensed to practice in Oregon and Washington.

For most of my career, I represented individuals and businesses in a traditional law practice focused on trial work and litigation, business advising, real estate, estate planning, and probate and trust disputes. Before I went into private practice, I graduated from law school with honors, was a judicial clerk for an Idaho trial court and for the Idaho Supreme Court and worked for the State of Washington.

I offer high quality legal advice at a reasonable price so my services are accessible to individuals, budding entrepreneurs and owners of micro-businesses.
