Find Out About Our Rates
Depending on the case, we offer an hourly rate, a flat rate or contingency fee. Our team keeps detailed logs of the time they spend on your case. We count in ten minute increments and round down when in-between them. Work logs will be disclosed to all clients upon the closing of a case. We only work for as long as a case requires, so you’ll never be over billed for unproductive time. Final bills will include costs for copy, filing, messengers, and third-party research tools. Retainers must be paid upfront. Most work on employment and personal injury cases are based on contingency fee which means if we do not settle the case or achieve a money jury verdict in your favor, we don’t get paid and you do not owe us any fees. The costs associated with your file is different than attorney fees. Most costs are the responsibility of the client. We will explain the types of rates, costs and the manner in which we do or do not get paid for legal services depending on the type of case you may have. It is our aim to be completely transparent, up front and honest with you from the beginning of our relationship.

To help us best serve your inquiry, we recommend that you describe the issue you’re having before telling us what you want to achieve. You may also call us to make an appointment.
