Our Fees
At our firm, we are committed to providing transparent pricing to our clients, ensuring you know the cost of our services upfront. For most of our legal services, we offer flat-fee pricing, allowing you to plan your expenses without worrying about unexpected costs. During your initial consultation, we will discuss your specific needs and provide you with a detailed quote. All fees will be clearly outlined in a written fee agreement, and there is no obligation to proceed until that agreement is signed.
Typically, fees are paid at the beginning of your case to allow for streamlined service. However, we understand that flexibility may be necessary in certain situations, and we are happy to discuss fee arrangements or payment plans to accommodate your circumstances. Our goal is to ensure that you have access to high-quality legal representation with clear, predictable pricing.
