Our hourly rate is $200/hr. However, certain cases are charged a flat fee rate, while others are performed on a contingency fee basis. While every case is different, the fee for our services would be discussed at the initial consultation.

When you pay a retainer, it is simply pre-paying for future services and expenses. Expenses may include court filing fees or other out-of-office charges. Unlike many firms, we do not charge for copies, faxes, regular postage or long distance phone calls. As we work on your case, our time is billed against what you have already paid.

It depends on how complex your case is, and how much time we have to put into it. We have no way of knowing how much time it will take to resolve your situation, so we can’t predict the total amount that your case will cost. We will continue to bill you for our work, and as your original payment (retainer) is used, we suggest you continue to pay ahead if your case is still in progress. You will receive monthly statements so that you can review the work being done on your case and the status of your account.

Anything past due after 30 days will be charged interest of 1.5% a month. It is best to pay something every week or every month, even if you can’t pay the whole bill. We are very accommodating if you are making regular payments.
