OUR OFFICE HOURS are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. When circumstances require it, office conferences are scheduled beyond our normal business hours at the convenience of the client. Normally there is no charge for an initial interview.

     It is the policy and practice of Gyllenborg & Dunn, P.A. to provide each client with a written agreement regarding the conditions of employment in each case. Our clients know in writing what services they can expect from us, and how much money those services are expected to cost. Our clients also know in writing what we expect from them. In this way, we can address the questions that the client may have about attorney fees and services at the beginning of the professional relationship, then concentrate our efforts on a timely resolution of the case.

     A lawyer's professional services differ from those of a doctor or dentist in one important way: much of the work for which the client is charged is done when the client is not present. A client should know that a document prepared for him, or advice given to him, is the product of the lawyer's education, experience, time and effort. The representation of the client may also involve the education, experience, time and effort of other persons in the lawyer's office, such as the lawyer's partner, an associate attorney, a paralegal, or a legal secretary. Remember, when you engage the services of Gyllenborg & Dunn, you are hiring our entire law office to work for you.

     We represent most of our clients for a flat fee.  Flat fees are based upon many factors in addition to the number of hours it takes to resolve the case. Our clients tell us that they like this arrangement because it eliminates concerns about the cost of the representation increasing with each telephone call, office conference, or delay of the case by the other side. Flat fees also eliminate what some people consider a conflict of interest between resolving the case quickly and maximizing the law firm's income. Flat fees provide certainty to clients with regard to the costs of legal services, while allowing the attorney to be paid a fair price for the legal services provided to the client. In an appropriate case, a retainer and payment of an hourly rate can be arranged.

     Because we are located across the street from both the Johnson County courthouse and the adult detention center in Olathe, our clients are not charged for travel time or expenses from our office to those locations. In fact, for most cases pending in municipal or district courts in Johnson and Wyandotte counties, there is no charge for travel expenses.

     Because it is important to both us and our clients, we will make sure that you understand what we can do, and how much the legal fees will be, before you hire us.
