Fees

I promise – no hidden costs.

• No charges will be assessed until we have agreed on the scope of legal services and talked about the potential costs of those services.

• My current rate for most legal services is $250 per hour.

• I can provide you with a broad estimate of total costs based on my experience with similar matters, but the costs of each individual matter will vary depending on the unique circumstances.

• Flat fees for some matters may be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

• I offer “unbundled” legal support for families and individuals, so you can select the amount of help that works for you and your budget, whether that is full representation or helping you represent yourself in a legal matter.

• Legal matters may also include non-attorney costs such as filing fees for court documents or review of documents by tax professionals. These will be agreed upon before any costs are incurred.

• The retainer for legal services will depend on the type of legal matter and the estimated total costs for those services. You may be asked to replenish the retainer from time to time as services are provided.

• An invoice showing legal services provided, fees and costs incurred, and balance of payments will be provided to you periodically. An invoice can also be provided upon request at any time.
