Prices
Price is an important factor to consider when choosing an attorney. While we cannot give specific quotes as each case will vary based upon your unique situation and specific facts, we do our best to offer price ranges up front and can narrow that down during our initial consultation process. We offer a free initial phone consultation for most of our services, see below or details. Call us today to see how we can help.
Pricing & Fees
We offer flat fee, hourly, and contingent options depending upon the type of legal issue and your specific facts. It is challenging to give a specific quote without reviewing your specific facts to determine the complexity of your case. To help us understand how to help and to give you a quote, we start off with an initial phone consultation.
