Fees
The most common billing method is the hourly fee method in which the client is charged at an established hourly rate for the actual amount of time spent on his/her behalf. In personal injury matters, the contingent fee method is used, which means that our firm will charge a specified percentage of the money recovered for a client. Under this fee arrangement, the client assumes no risk and owes no legal fees unless a monetary recovery is obtained. The cost of certain legal procedures such as wills, trusts and real estate transactions can usually be determined in advance.
New Clients
For new clients and for our existing valued clientele as well, there is no charge for an initial consultation with our attorneys. Our family law attorneys offer a 30-minute free consultation for divorce, child custody and parenting time matters. In other words, we won't send you a bill for calling us with an initial legal concern or question. We want to help you avoid potential legal problems and assist you in determining if your particular legal concerns necessitate the professional services of an attorney.
