You have questions. We may have answers.
We're like your Primary Care Doctor, but for Legal Questions.
First Move Law helps identify the legal issue, explain your options, and determine the right next step—even when you are not sure where to begin.
Step 1
In your own words, what is going on?
This is a guided intake, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
If you already know what you are looking for and want to make an appointment, please complete the below and we will schedule a time to talk.
Give us up to three options.
Submitting this form does not create an attorney-client relationship.
A different way to start with a lawyer.
Most people don't know whether their situation requires a real estate attorney, a litigator, a business attorney, an insurance attorney — or sometimes whether they need a lawyer at all.
You don't have to figure that out first.
Start with First Move. Tell us what's happening, and we'll help you understand what you're dealing with, what your options are, and what should happen next.
Tell us what's going on
In your own words, in plain language. No forms that make you diagnose your own legal problem.
We help identify the issue
A lawyer helps you understand what you're actually dealing with and what your options are.
Make the right first move
You'll know what should happen next — and what doesn't need to.
Experience matters when the answer isn't obvious.
Margery Golant has spent her career seeing legal problems from different sides — as an attorney, former judge, corporate counsel, advocate, and advisor.
That breadth of experience is what makes First Move different. Sometimes the most important legal decision isn't what to do. It's figuring out what you're actually dealing with in the first place.
Most lawyers have seen a matter like yours from one side of the table. Margery Golant has seen it from all three — as a judge, as counsel to a national financial company, and as the consumer advocate invited to testify before Congress.
So when she reads your situation, she already knows how the other side thinks — because she's sat where they sit.
Trusted when the stakes are real.
“I immediately got the sense of no ulterior motive or even alternate thought process coming through the words I was reading. Just straight honest knowledge — and I had only asked a question. Most reviews for people or sites are pure fluff. Read a couple of hers and right away you know the difference.”
Robert — Avvo review
“Attorney Golant is a truly dedicated consumer advocate. She really cares about her clients' cases, has a deep knowledge of how to use the law to help her clients, and uses it forcefully to protect them. She understands corporations from the inside, which gives her a tremendous edge. She has helped me greatly, and I recommend her unhesitatingly.”
Nikki — Hired Attorney, Avvo review
“She represented me with expertise and skill. I am thoroughly satisfied with her and my outcome was far better than I ever expected. I highly recommend her.”

What can I come to First Move about?
Don't see your situation? That's okay. You don't need to know which category your problem belongs in. That's the whole idea behind First Move.

Two ways to use First Move
Ordinary Advice and Legal Services
Available for a single question, an immediate concern, a transaction, a decision, a dispute, or a legal matter. Initial consultations and legal services are generally provided on an hourly basis. There is no obligation to enter into an ongoing relationship.
Start HereOptional Primary Counsel
What if you already had a lawyer to call?
Most people wait until something goes wrong to look for an attorney. Primary Counsel changes that. For individuals, families, and business owners who regularly encounter legal questions, First Move can become your ongoing legal point of contact — someone who knows you, understands your circumstances, and helps you decide what to do when something comes up.
This option is entirely optional and is never a prerequisite to obtaining ordinary First Move services.

Something happened. Now what?
Maybe you received a letter. Someone threatened to sue you. A business deal went sideways. There's a problem with your property. An insurance company isn't cooperating. A family member died and you're not sure what happens next. Or something just doesn't feel right.
