HOW CAN WE 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.

DIVORCE & CHILD CUSTODY

---

$2000 Flat Fee (Initial Phase)

Achieving your goals in a Utah divorce, child custody, or modification case should not require an unlimited legal budget. Rather than relying on large retainers and open-ended hourly billing from the beginning, we offer a phased flat-fee approach for many contested family law matters.

Most cases begin with an Initial Phase flat fee of $2,000 that covers preparing and filing pleadings, satisfying disclosure requirements, and evaluating the issues involved in your case. Once that phase is complete, we will review the status of your matter with you and provide a fee quote for any additional representation that may be necessary based on the actual complexity of your case and the work reasonably anticipated moving forward.

This approach provides greater transparency, predictable costs, and flexibility by allowing you to pay only for the services your case actually requires. Our goal is to make experienced Utah family law representation more accessible while providing the personal attention and guidance every client deserves.

ENFORCE COURT ORDER

---

$3000 Flat Fee*

Has the other party in your case violated the court's order? Fair Price Lawyers will file a motion to enforce a Utah court order on your behalf and argue the motion at a hearing.

Frequently, courts will also order the offending party to reimburse you for your attorney's fees. Our retainer fee for enforcement actions is typically $3,000.

*Applies in most cases. Additional fees may apply in unusually complex matters or if substantial litigation becomes necessary.

HOW OUR PHASED PRICING WORKS

A Smarter, More Predictable Approach to Flat Fees

You'll notice that some of the flat fees listed above apply only to the Initial Phase of a contested divorce, child custody, or modification case. Every case is different. Some cases settle quickly, while others require mediations, 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 require, we structure our representation of clients 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 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.

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.

Initial Phase of Representation

Our Initial Phase is designed to help clients get their case started without having to immediately commit to the cost of full litigation.

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

• Early case assessment and client communication
• Preparation and filing of pleadings, including petitions, answers, and counterpetitions
• Having your petition formally served on the other party by a process server
• Preparing and exchanging initial disclosures and financial declarations
• Review of evidence provided by client
• Case planning and strategy
• Evaluating the likely scope and complexity of the matter moving forward

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's Included in Initial Phase

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

What Happens After Initial Phase?

Once the pleadings have been filed and served and the initial disclosure requirements have been satisfied, we will meet with you to review the status of your case, discuss 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 under a flat-fee arrangement for defined services or under an hourly fee arrangement 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.

"UNCONTESTED" DEFINED

A matter is contested when the parties cannot agree regarding important matters that need to be decided, such as child custody, parent time, asset/debt division, child support, alimony. When you hire Fair Price Lawyers to represent you regarding a contested divorce, child custody/Support matter or a modification, we will handle all aspects of your case. We handle everything from beginning to end. As we perform work on your case, we will withdraw funds from your retainer deposit. You will receive periodic invoices showing what work has been done on your case and how much remains of your retainer deposit. Any funds remaining after work is completed on your case will be refunded to you. Not often, but sometimes, cases can be drawn out by either party and retainer funds are exhausted. If that happens, we will request an additional deposit of retainer funds.

A matter is considered uncontested when the parties have agreed on all the important matters that need to be decided. If you hire Fair Price Lawyers to represent you regarding uncontested matters, our attorneys will prepare and file all the necessary paperwork for your case and handle all contact with the court and the other party. However, we will not negotiate with the other party about the terms of the settlement agreement. We must charge additional fees for doing so.
