Rates
Most general practice matters are billed to the client at an hourly rate depending upon the amount of time spent on the client’s behalf. Some matters are billed at a “flat rate” fee.
EXAMPLES OF SERVICES: Wills and Estate Planning; Preparation of Legal Documents, or Setting Up an LLC.
The initial conference with an attorney is billed at the hourly rate and is payable at the time the service is rendered whether the client chooses to retain the law firm or is merely seeking an opinion on a one-time basis.
Clients who are involved in cases that are ongoing will be asked to pay a retainer and to sign a retainer agreement. The retainer is an advance deposit that is held in the firm trust account and is only depleted as fees are earned. Any unused portion of the retainer is returned to the client when the case is completed.
