How Consultations Work — and What They Cost

Consultations are available in time-based slots: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour. Each slot is billed at a flat fee, published on the fees page before you book. If you proceed to a flat-fee service after the consultation, the consultation fee is credited toward that engagement.


Not sure whether your situation warrants legal counsel? That's exactly what the 15-minute call is for. You get my real attention and a direct answer — not a pitch for services you may not need.

Use the form below and I'll respond directly. No intake coordinator, no automated follow-up sequence — just me.

What to Expect After You Reach Out

I'm a sole practitioner, which means all communications come directly to me. You won't be handed off, filtered through staff, or left waiting on a callback queue. If you call during business hours, I'll answer or call you back the same day. If you email or submit the form, expect a direct reply — not an auto-responder.


With 30 years of Florida Bar experience focused exclusively on small businesses, I can usually tell you within the first few minutes of a conversation whether I'm the right fit for what you're dealing with.

Frequently Asked Questions About Reaching Dowd Law

  • How do I schedule a consultation with a business attorney in Brandon, Florida?

    Use the Calendly scheduler above to book a time slot that works for you — 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. You can also call (813) 773-3529 or email info@dowdlaw.com to arrange a time directly.

  • Do I have to pay for the consultation before I know if you can help me?

    Yes — and that's intentional. The consultation fee means you get my full attention from the first minute, not a sales conversation designed to qualify you for a larger engagement. The fee is published on the fees page before you book, so there are no surprises.

  • What if I only have a quick question — is a 15-minute consultation enough?

    Often, yes. A 15-minute call is designed for exactly that situation: you have a specific question, you want a straight answer, and you're not ready to commit to a full engagement. If your situation turns out to be more involved, we can discuss next steps at the end of the call.

  • Is Dowd Law accessible to clients outside of Brandon?

    Yes. I serve clients throughout the Tampa Bay metro — including Riverview, Valrico, Temple Terrace, Apollo Beach, and Sun City Center — and I work with clients across Florida through remote practice. An in-person meeting is never required.

  • What is the phone number for Dowd Law?

    You can reach the office directly at (813) 773-3529. That line goes to me — not a receptionist or answering service.
