Concern for Costs
Our principal goal is to produce the best possible result at the lowest costs for our clients. We welcome a frank discussion of anticipated fees and expenses at the start of the project or anytime as needed along the way. While managing larger projects, we consistently keep our clients informed of the project's status and cost as it progresses. If appropriate, the project's direction or focus can be changed if unexpected issues are encountered.
