First, Pay for Services

Step

1

Initial Consultation

$99 per consultation

(Maximum time: 25 minutes)

If you’re new to my practice and services, the first step is to select an Initial Consultation. This gets us together for about the first 25 minutes.

At this point, I’ll ask you a few basic background questions. This will help frame your issue. I’ll give you a first impression of the issue. I will also offer you as many alternatives as I can muster.

Afterward, you’re free to ask questions. I hope we can figure out a general path or course to take. If not, I can at least give you something to think about or consider.

Engagement Session

$299 per session

(Maximum time: 50 minutes)

This meeting focuses on developing the legal strategy or approach we will take with your matter. By the end of the session, you will have:

  1. a general understanding of possible outcomes,
  2. a sense of the expected timelines,
  3. a clear outline of next steps, and
  4. an understanding of what you will need to do—and what I will do—moving ahead.

Hourly Services | Retainer

$499 per hour of labor

$998 minimum balance on retainer

Hourly work is billed against a retainer, which functions like a down payment for future services. Your retainer is held in a dedicated interest-earning business account at Bank of America. Fees are deducted as work is completed. Any unused funds are returned to you at the conclusion of your matter.

Billing occurs in the standard minimum increment for attorneys: 0.1 hours (6 minutes), or about $49
