Questions about paying
What does a flat fee include?
All of our work on the stage described: drafting, filing, every call and email, and a summary at the end. If you need something outside it, we quote that in writing first.
What isn't included?
Money paid to others: court filing fees, service of papers, appraisals, and evaluators or experts if your case needs them. We list them on your quote.
What if my case turns contested?
We stop at the end of the stage you've paid for and quote the next one. You decide whether to go on, and nothing is billed by the hour.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. Most clients pay half when they sign the engagement letter and the rest over two or three months.
Is the first call really free?
Yes. Thirty minutes, by video or phone, and a written quote afterwards if you'd like one.
