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.

Free Initial Phone Consultation

We offer a free initial fifteen minute phone consultation to see how we can help, subject to certain conditions.  Click here to read the full terms and conditions.  The free initial consultation covers the following:

1. During business hours (9 am to 5 pm)
2. By phone
3. No more than 15 minutes
4. No more than 10 pages of documents to be reviewed
5. Provide any additional documents or intake sheets required for analysis
6. You will be scheduled into an hour long block where we will call you during that hour.  If you need a narrower time range or a specific time, let us know and we will try to accommodate.
7. We will sometimes relax the above requirements upon request on a case by case basis, see full explanation

Paid Consultations

Paid consultations tend to be longer, allow for a more complete analysis, and are more appropriate for complex situations.  If we are unable give a reasonable review and analysis of your situation within the constraints of a free consultation due to the complexity of your case, we may require a paid consultation.  Likewise, if you require certain accommodations, we may need to charge an additional fee.  Our standard additional fee schedule is as follows:
