PROFESSIONAL FEES

 

 

Introduction to Professional Fees

Professional fees usually are quoted on a flat fee basis.  The flat fee is calculated on the typical amount of hours spent on each type of case multiplied by the cost of office operations. Should any additional work on any case exceed the flat fee amount, the additional fee will be calculated and invoiced to the client before this extra work is performed.

Consultations

Consultations are free for simple e-mailed questions and responses.  It does not represent a detailed evaluation of a case, nor does it involve detailed legal work in response to complex questions.  In addition, a free e-mailed consultation does not amount to legal opinion or create an attorney-client relationship.

Detailed consultations (for up to 30 minutes of professional time by e-mail or telephone) cost $125.  This type of evaluation is better suited to more complex questions which might require research and do lead to a definitive legal opinion.

Please e-mail him for a consultation.
