Consultation & Fees
Perhaps the most valuable service we offer is the initial consultation. There is a $200.00 flat charge for the initial family law consultation. During the consultation we attempt not only to answer the questions you may have, but also to give you answers to questions which will arise for you in the future. It is also a time for you to meet the staff who, together with the lawyer, will assist you throughout your situation.
Our Rates
Once we begin our representation, we charge hourly rates which vary among our personnel. Currently, paralegals' rates start at $100.00 per hour and the lawyers' rates vary.
An Informed Assessment of Your Case
No two cases are alike and, accordingly no two fees will be the same. Since the amount of time involved can never be predicted with scientific precision, we will do our best, after an initial consultation, to approximate how long the case could take and how much it might ultimately cost. Of course, there may be variables which cannot be anticipated, but we will give an honest effort to try to help you determine and anticipate the costs involved.
Billing Against Retainer
Before we begin representation, we require an initial retainer and a signed fee contract. The initial retainer depends on the case. We then bill our time against that retainer, and, if and when the retainer is close to being depleted, we may require an additional retainer if it appears the case has become more time consuming than initially anticipated. Of course, where it is appropriate, we will seek to have the other party reimburse you for your attorney's fees.
