§ Engage — the first conversation

Begin a conversation.

Engagements are accepted by appointment. The first conversation is short, private, and without obligation — an honest read of whether this is the right firm for your matter.

If we are not, we will tell you that, and — where we can — point you to a firm that is the right fit.

§ 01 — What to send

A few sentences. A general shape of the matter.

The most useful first note is short. Tell us, in plain language, what brought you here — the company you are building, the family you are protecting, the collection you are settling, the question you cannot quite name. We will write you back the same business day.

Anything you send through this form is treated as a prospective-client inquiry. Until we accept the engagement in writing, no attorney-client relationship is formed, and we ask that you not send privileged or confidential details about an active matter.

“If we are not the right firm for the work, we will tell you in the first conversation.”

Your details.
§ 02 — Other ways to reach the firm

The note above is the fastest way in. If you would rather write directly, email counsel@moye.law — it reaches Christopher and is answered the same business day.

§ 03 — What to expect

The first 72 hours, in three steps.

No marketing sequence. No drip campaign. Three short, considered exchanges.

Step 01 · within one business day

A reply from Christopher.

A short note confirming receipt, a sense of whether the matter belongs here, and two or three windows for a first call.

Email · ~24 hours
Step 02 · on the call

The first conversation.

~30 minutes. Private, no obligation. We listen first. If the matter belongs here, we will name the disciplines involved and the rough shape of an engagement.

Phone · by appointment
Step 03 · if we proceed

An engagement letter.

In writing, in plain language. It names the work, the disciplines, the principal on the file, and the fee posture — before any document is drafted.

§ 04 — In person

The office is in New York.

Engagements that benefit from in-person work — document executions, family meetings, the close of a complex matter — happen at the New York office, by appointment. We are not a walk-in practice.

§ 05 — Prefer to pick a time?

Book the first conversation directly.

Choose a window that suits you. You will receive a written confirmation, and the principal who answers your note is the one on the call.
