Step 1 of 3

Get Started

Thanks for considering The Law Shop by Skogerson McGinn LLC (“TLS”)!

We appreciate that you are looking for efficient, high quality, affordable legal services.
Here is how our client onboarding process works.

Step 1 – Conflicts Check – to ensure we have not represented anyone else with interests adverse to yours.
Step 2 – Shop Evaluation Application – to determine whether we can assist with your particular legal matter.
Step 3 – Appointment Scheduling – to meet with a TLS attorney about your case or transaction.

To get started, please complete the form below. TLS will run a conflicts check within 1-2 business days from the date you submit this form. If a conflict is found, we will do our best to give you a quality referral to another firm. If a conflict is not found, we will promptly notify you with further instructions for submitting your Shop Evaluation Application. There is a $150 fee for the shop evaluation that is due prior to the appointment unless the shop evaluation is for a workers’ compensation or personal injury matter. You will receive valuable information and come up with a customized plan to fit your circumstances.

“Amy’s approach to family law is to have a smile on her face and assure you that everything will be ok, because it will be. This is not a fight, but peaceful interaction between the parties to come to a conclusion that works for everyone. I never would have thought that mediation would work, and I was so wrong. My relationship with our kids is not one of weekly visitations, rather a co-parenting agreement that works for the best interest of our children.”  ~Jim

"Amy was instrumental in helping my daughters through a very difficult time in our lives. Not only was she incredibly professional and always prepared, she was extremely caring. Amy always had their best interest in mind and was always working to help them." – Aric

“Amy was invaluable in helping me through a difficult time. I was dealing with the overwhelming emotions involved in the divorce process. Amy walked me through the process and made it easy. She answered my questions, no matter how trivial and took time out of her day to come meet with me rather than making me come to her. Amy did a wonderful job of making a difficult time less difficult. Now I can focus on living my best life possible with my children.” – Kayla

"When I met Amy, I knew I had found the right person to handle my divorce. Not only was she compassionate but she was honest - I could trust her to give it to me straight. At the same time, she looked into all of my concerns through the lens of the law, logic and love. She kept me grounded during a time that was chaotic. And we were able to stay focused on what mattered most - my kids." – Jenny
