Our fees are based on the nature of the services requested by any client; individual or business.
When the firm and client agree as to the fees to be charged and the services to be performed, a written retainer agreement is signed. In some cases, such as a real estate sale or purchase, an engagement letter detailing the fees to be charged and the services to be rendered is generated to the client.
FEE CATEGORIES
- Hourly rates for Court and non-Court time
- Contingent fees (a percentage of the gross settlement or judgement)
- Fixed rate fee for one-time type services
COSTS are those out-of-pocket expenses expended in order to accomplish the agreed upon services. These include, but are not limited to; filing fees, services fees, subpoena fees, recording fees, deposition fees, expert witness fees and the like. These costs are in addition to the fees charged for legal services.
RETAINERS are down payments usually required at the inception of any legal representation. The amount of such retainers are discussed at the initial interview.
BILLING: In an hourly rate case, the client will receive a monthly statement detailing the retainer received, the date legal services were performed, a brief description of services performed, the hourly rate charged and the cost of the services detailed. In all other cases, the client will receive a final statement detailing the payments received, fees charged, costs incurred, authorized disbursements and any balance due.
REFUNDS: At the conclusion of all services required on a particular manner involving an hourly rate charge. If the fees earned and costs incurred are less than the retainer paid, such balance shall be refunded.
CONSULTATIONS: A one-half hour free consultation is offered. Any additional time would be charged based on an hourly rate.
