OUR FAMILY LAW FEE STRUCTURE

A Smarter, More Predictable Approach to Flat Fees

Every contested divorce and child custody case case is different. Some cases settle quickly, while others require contested court hearings, custody evaluations, expert witnesses, or even trial.

Because it is difficult to predict at the outset how much work a case will ultimately require, we structure our representation in separate phases: the Initial Phase, the Litigation Phase, and the Trial Phase. Each phase has its own flat fee, allowing you to pay only for the services your case actually needs. If your case progresses to a later phase, we will discuss the next steps with you and provide a separate flat-fee quote before performing the additional work needed.

This phased-fee approach provides greater flexibility, predictable costs, and transparent pricing by allowing clients to pay only for the level of representation their case actually requires.

Initial Phase of Representation — $2,000 Flat Fee

Our initial phase is designed to help clients get started without immediately committing to the cost of full litigation.

For a flat fee of $2,000, we handle:

• Initial consultation and case planning
• Preparation and filing of pleadings
• Satisfying initial disclosures and financial declaration requirements
• Early case assessment and communication

This phase allows both attorney and client to begin working together, gather information, and better evaluate the likely scope and complexity of the case.

What Is Not Included in the Initial Flat Fee

Because these services vary significantly in time, complexity, and cost, the initial flat fee does not include:

• Motions for temporary orders
• Temporary orders hearings
• Mediation
• Formal discovery
• Depositions
• Custody evaluations
• Guardian ad litem appointments
• Protective order proceedings
• Expert witnesses or forensic accounting
• Extensive evidence review
• Trial preparation or trial
• Appeals
• Contested hearings or substantial litigation

If additional services become necessary, we will discuss options and costs with you before moving forward.

Why We Structure Fees This Way

The early stages of a family law case often reveal information that simply is not known during an initial consultation.

For example, after pleadings and initial disclosures are exchanged, we can better understand:

• How far apart the parties are on custody, support, alimony, and property issues
• Whether the matter is likely to become heavily contested
• Whether hidden assets, abuse allegations, or emergency issues may arise
• Whether custody evaluations, experts, or extensive discovery may be necessary
• Whether expert witnesses will be needed.
• How the opposing party and opposing counsel are approaching the case
• The level of conflict involved and the realistic path forward

This process also gives both the attorney and client an opportunity to determine whether the attorney-client relationship is the right fit before making a larger financial commitment.

What Happens After Initial Phase?

Once the pleadings and financial disclosures have been completed, we will meet with you to discuss the status of your case, review the next steps, and provide a fee quote for continued representation based on the actual complexity of your case and the work reasonably anticipated moving forward. Depending on the circumstances, representation may continue through a flat-fee arrangement for defined services, or hourly representation with a retainer.

Transparency From the Beginning

Our goal is to provide clients with a reasonable and affordable way to begin and continue their case, while ensuring legal fees remain fair and proportionate to the complexity of the matter.

We believe clients deserve transparency, realistic expectations, and a fee structure tailored to the actual needs of their case—not guesswork.

HOW CAN FAIR PRICE LAWYERS BE SO AFFORDABLE?

If you've already been quoted a price for your case by another law firm, then you may be asking yourself why our prices are significantly lower. Keep in mind that a higher price doesn't necessarily mean higher quality. It's true for bottled water, and it's true for attorneys. The difference is that we don't have a fancy marble floored office, and we don’t advertise on radio, TV, or billboards. Instead, most of our clients come to us as referrals from previous clients or are people who read our 5-star reviews. We pass the resulting savings onto our clients in the form of lower prices. It's that simple.
