Meeting Location Options

  • Meeting your Advisor at your business or office can enable extra advantages of insight and understanding due to on-site interaction.

  • Another option is for you to meet your advisor at his office.

  • For less complex issues or document reviews, working with your advisor by telephone, email, or fax may be a good option.
