How it works

From the first letter to the last condition.

01
Step 1: A call or a note
Tell me which board wrote, what the letter says and when your reply is due. What you tell me stays with me.
02
Step 2: Engagement and the file
If I can help, I send a written engagement letter with my fee. Then I ask the board for its file, and for more time if you need it.
03
Step 3: The first response
I draft, you correct, and nothing goes to the board until you have read every line. Sometimes the best response is short.
04
Step 4: The interview or conference
If the board wants to hear from you, we rehearse. I attend, and you answer what you are asked.
05
Step 5: Settlement or hearing
Many matters end in a dismissal or an agreed order; others go to a hearing. I set out the choice, the risk and the cost before you decide.
06
Step 6: After the order
Orders carry terms: conditions, reports, renewals and sometimes notices to employers and other boards. I stay until the last one is met.

For the first call

What to have beside you

You do not need a file. If you have the letter in hand, we can start there.
