Counsel that answers the phone.
We represent small employers and the people who work for them. Flat fees where we can quote them, straight answers where we cannot, and a partner on every matter.
Four attorneys who left larger firms on purpose.
Harbor Line was formed in 2011 by attorneys who wanted to practice without a billable-hour target dictating how a client gets advised.
We stay small deliberately. It is the only way to promise that the person at your consultation is the person who handles your matter.

Before you call.
Do you charge for the first conversation?
No. The first thirty minutes are free, and a meaningful share of those calls end with us telling someone they do not need a lawyer.
Can you really quote a flat fee?
For formation, contracts, handbooks, and severance review, almost always. For litigation, no — and any firm that quotes you a flat fee for litigation is either guessing or planning to revisit it.
Do you represent both employers and employees?
Yes, but never on opposite sides of the same matter, and we run a conflicts check before the first substantive conversation.
