We understand you need to budget and want to know up front how much you will be paying for legal services.
You will not be charged for an initial consultation. After the initial consultation, the firm will provide you with a fee proposal and engagement letter. Our preferred approach is to use a fixed fee for a specific project, such as the design and implementation of a benefit plan or compensation agreement. In some cases, however, the scope of work cannot easily be predicted at the outset, such as legal representation in M&A transactions or audits and other compliance proceedings. For those matters, we will propose an hourly fee arrangement (billed in 15 minute increments).
Legal services are billed monthly. The firm accepts check and all major credit card. Credit card payments are processed using a software called LawPay, which has been endorsed by the American Bar Association and state and local bar associations for securely handling attorney-client transactions.
The engagement letter will describe billing practices and payment options in detail.
