Our Services & Legal Fees:
Flat Fee Model
We offer client-centered flat-legal fees for most legal services we handle.
Use our online cost estimator to get a basic idea of general attorney fees. This site isn’t a promise to handle your case - we won't take on any new legal matter unless and until our attorney talks with you and agrees to offer representation - but we post our standard fees as part of our transparent, up-front pricing philosophy.
