Frequently asked
What areas of law do you practice in?
Our business attorneys focus on business and commercial law, civil litigation, government contracting, real estate, regulatory issues, business formation and structuring, exit strategies and succession planning, and more.
What are your rates?
As any honest lawyer will tell you, that depends. We handle projects for individuals, small businesses, and large corporations. And we always do our best to give you an accurate estimation about what we expect it’d take to resolve your matter and if that cost would be worth it to you or your business or estate.
Many of the legal business projects we take on are flat fees that depend on how long we think it’ll take to get your matter resolved.
We also take on work on a contingency arrangement — you don’t pay anything unless we win the case.
And for some matters, we can charge an hourly rate which averages around $200/hr up to $400/hr depending on the scope of work.
What if I have other questions?
You can schedule a free initial consultation to talk with our team if you have other questions. We provide free consultations for up to 15 minutes, so reach out to our team to see if we’re the right business attorneys for your next project.
