From time to time, Carlson Bier Associates works with attorneys who serve in an “of counsel” role. These attorneys are not partners or employees of the firm but maintain a close and ongoing professional relationship with our office.
If your matter would benefit from the involvement of an “of counsel” attorney, you will be informed in advance. We will clearly explain their role in your case, as well as their qualifications and how they will contribute to your representation.
All work performed by “of counsel” attorneys is coordinated and supervised by Carlson Bier Associates. You will remain a client of our firm throughout your case, and their involvement will not result in any additional cost to you.
