Fee Structures

FLAT RATE FEES

Some cases, usually transactional matters, are quite predictable. Whether it’s a simple power of attorney or a more complicated business entity formation or estate planning package, you’ll know the cost of each engagement or project in advance and will be able to budget accordingly. 

HOURLY RATE FEES

Other cases, generally involving litigation or extended negotiations, are more difficult to cost out. While my goal is to resolve your issues as effectively and efficiently as possible, I can’t control the other side. In these cases I’ll charge a retainer to bill against, and you’ll replenish the retainer as the case moves forward.

SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES

Major infections can come from small wounds. Because of the hassle that going to the doctor over a “small cut” entails, we tend to avoid the trip until the problem becomes much worse and we find ourselves in an emergency situation. Legal problems are much the same way: nipped in the bud, they remain manageable. Neglected, they only grow and get worse. For a modest setup fee then a flat fee of $150 per month, my subscribers have unlimited phone and email access to me to get the advice and counsel they need as soon as issues crop up.
