FAQ: How does your billing work?

How does your billing work?

Our law firm offers a variety of billing arrangements depending on your legal situation.

– Some matters we’ll take on contingency, where we only get paid if you win
– Other matters are flat fee agreements, where you pay a one-time, set amount
– Other matters are hourly rate agreements, where work on your is billed by the hour
– Some matters are a combination or variation of the options above

Regardless of the arrangement, we’ll discuss it with you beforehand during the initial consultation so you always know what to expect. And if you have questions about charges that appear on your bill, then we encourage you to contact us so that we can talk through it with you.

Bills are sent out on a monthly basis. We offer payment plans and other options for structuring your payments, you simply need to contact [email protected] to inquire about details.

We also have an online payment portal here if you’re looking to pay your bill.

FAQ: How much do contract attorneys cost?

How much does a contract attorney cost?

The cost of our contract attorney services depends on the scope of your project.

We handle projects for individuals, small businesses, and large corporations. And we only take on clients where it’ll be a win-win for you and us.

So 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 (and yes, we offer payment plans and different structures to make it work for your situation).

Other contract attorneys might quote hourly rates or flat fees or even mention contingency agreements. We can do all that too — flat fees based on estimated work, contingency arrangements where you don’t pay unless we win, and hourly billing that averages around $200/hr up to $400/hr.

But what’s most important to us is talking through your situation so that each side understands what the boundaries are and what makes the most sense for your bottom line.
