Costs

• Free Consultancy Service
  I generally make free consultations available to clients that are sincerely interested in doing planning where I believe I can help, usually after a brief call to get a feel for what such clients want to accomplish.
• Retaines and Rates
  i do most of my planning on a fixed fee basis, so clients will not be inhibited by the fear than one more meeting, or one more question, will increase their costs.
