During the consultation, one of our attorneys will go over your matter with you, attempt to answer your questions, discuss potential options for moving forward (if any), as well as the associated costs.

Typically, consultation appointments take place over the phone, but if the client is local to Arizona and feels it is necessary to meet in person, the appointment will take place at our office in Scottsdale.

Both of the firm’s partners, Daniel Warner and Raeesabbas Mohamed, work on cases together if it makes sense. Additionally, in an attempt to keep our clients’ fees low, we will use paralegals, law clerks, and/or associate attorneys when appropriate. Also, because we do a lot of litigation in many different states, other than Arizona, the firm’s local counsel in the applicable state would also be involved.

Together, Dan Warner and Raees Mohamed have been practicing law for over twenty years. To learn more about the experience of each attorney click here.

RM Warner, PLC is based out of Scottsdale, Arizona, and the firm’s attorneys are licensed to practice law in Arizona only, unless specifically noted under a specific attorney’s website profile. However, given the Internet, we are a global society today, without borders. The majority of our clients are out of state or overseas. And to the extent litigation becomes necessary or local counsel is otherwise needed, we have formed relationships with many firms in many different states and countries who can serve as local counsel. Short Answer: Yes + we get permission from local courts with a local attorney, IF litigation is required.

The length of a case depends on a number of variables so it is impossible to say exactly how long a case will take.

No. Sources estimate that only 3% of civil litigation cases filed end up going to trial.

This often depends on your preference. Some clients like to discuss each and every aspect of the case, as well as all potential strategies and options. Other clients, simply prefer an email update every now and again, or a phone call when an important decision must be made or something happens in a case. We try to cater to your preferences. However, communication is one of the most important things to a strong attorney-client relationship and having you, as our client, being well informed of all the potential benefits and risks associated with a certain course of action. As a result, no matter your preference, we will do our best to ensure you know exactly where you stand under the circumstances.
