Gelbman believes that most people would not buy shoes without trying them on; they should not hire an attorney without “trying them on” either. Therefore, a half-hour initial consultation, either by phone or in person is always free of charge.
Many of Gelbman Law’s clients find it difficult to travel to a law office, due to barriers of parking, stairs, fragility due to age, or illness or both; as a courtesy, Gelbman frequently travels to her clients wherever they are located. Consultations can take place intheir home, in a hospital, an Assisted Living or Nursing facility – whereever they are most comfortable. There is no extra charge for mileage or travel.Gelbman sees her job as simplifying things for clients, not complicating them.
