About NextGen Law Group
Our firm was founded with a vision to transform the delivery of legal services to businesses and individuals who are tired of the law firm bureaucracy. Our vision is simple; transparent prices, rapid response times, and legal services that finally work for the client. With NextGen Law Group, you will never be surprised by the bill, a maximum cap for a job is provided to the client before work even begins. Gone are the days of worrying about "running the bill" when you call or email your attorney. You will also never have to anxiously wait weeks for a response from an attorney. We try our best to respond to inquiries within 24-48 hours, and keep our clients informed as to timelines every step of the way. The feeling of legal anxiety is a feeling we certainly don't want, and it would not be fair to pass that to the client!
With NextGen Law Group, whether you are a business, sole proprietor, or individual, you will truly feel like you have a personal, in-house attorney, but without the expense!
