Fees

  • Credit Cards Accepted
    Visa, MasterCard, Discover, AmEx, Paypal
  • Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
    I charge $350 for a consultation. If you hire me anytime after the consultation, I will credit you the $350 toward your retainer. I try to be extremely fair and provide a consultation/initial meeting free, however; I just can?t do free consultations because I would do them all day long and have no other time. Like all family law attorneys, I require a retainer to be paid before I enter my appearance and begin working. A retainer is the money necessary to be held in escrow for me to get started on the case. For a divorce or custody case the retainer is $5,000. I charge $350/hour and you will be billed monthly only for the work completed and that money earned will be removed from the retainer in escrow and placed into my account. The money held in escrow is fully refundable at any time and certainly refunded if unused, for example, if the case settles. Let me know if you would like to set up a time to meet or if you have more questions.
