How it works…
1. Get in touch. Drop me a message via the contact form or email. Tell me briefly what's going on.
2. We'll have a quick call I'll ask a few questions to understand the situation fully. No charge for the initial 15-minute scoping call.
3. I'll support you Depending on what you need, that might be a detailed call, a document review, a letter drafted, or a combination. All work is billed at my hourly rate.
