• Contact information: be sure you potential clients know how to reach your firm, by phone, fax or email. Identify the main office number as well as those for each member of the firm.

• Initial Consultation: describe your Initial Consultation policy.  If it is free, let them know!  If there are any limitations to the free consultation, describe them.
• Credit Cards: if you accept credit cards as payment for services, list which ones you accept.
